SECaaS to Service Provider Plan (SPP) Conversion Process

This article explains how to use MySonicWall to convert SonicWall Gen 7 firewalls from the Security-as-a-Service (SECaaS) program to the SonicWall Partner Plan (SPP) model.

Prerequisites:

• This process applies only to Gen 7 firewalls.

You must have access to:

• Your MySonicWall account
• SonicWall SPP Partner Price List

• If the firewall is part of a High Availability (HA) cluster, additional licensing is required (see note below).

Step-by-Step Instruction:

1. Purchase the Conversion SKU

• Select the appropriate Conversion SKU based on your firewall model.
• These SKUs are listed in the SonicWall SPP Partner Price List.

2. Log in to MySonicWall

• Go to MySonicWall and sign in.
• Locate the firewall you want to convert.

3. Activate the SECAAS Conversion License (See screenshot below)

• Navigate to the Licenses tab for the selected firewall.
• Find the "SECAAS Conversion" category.
• Click "Activate" next to "Reset SECAAS License."

4. Confirm License Reset

• After activation, you'll see this message:

"All subscriptions on this firewall will expire 1 day from now. Please immediately ensure your firewall is licensed using Monthly Billing or with an annual term license key."

5. Apply a New License

• Provision the firewall with either:
  • A Monthly Billing license, or
  • An Annual Term license key

6. Cancel SECaaS Billing if applicable

• Submit a cancellation request to your Distributor to stop SECaaS billing.

Note: If the firewall is part of a stateful High Availability (HA) cluster:

• You must purchase a separate term license for the secondary unit.
• You must also purchase the Monthly SKU for all required subscriptions.
