How to apply a manual license update of an Access Point

Description

This article shows how to apply a manual license update or manually renewed of an Access Point

Resolution

When the firewall cannot reach the License Manager to refresh the SonicWave license, you can still use GMS or SonicOS management interface to configure and update license manually.

  1. Log into MySonicWall and obtain the manual keyset for the SonicWave license. Copy it to your clipboard.
  2. On your firewall, navigate to MANAGE | Connectivity | Access Points | Base Settings.
  3. Scroll down to SonicPoint/SonicWave Objects.
  4. Click on the open lock icon in the Configure column for the SonicWave that needs to be manually 

    renewed.


  5. Type the license key into the key field and click OK.

The firewall initiates the process to update the new license key on the SonicWave access point. The SonicWave access point saves the updated license key, brings up radio interface, restores traffic bridging, and opens the console access.
