Description
If your SonicWall security appliance is deployed in an environment that does not allow direct internet connectivity from the SonicWall security appliance you can enter the encrypted license key information from mysonicwall.com manually on the System | Licenses page in the SonicWall management interface.
NOTE: Manual upgrade of the encrypted license keyset is only for closed environments. If your SonicWall security appliance is connected to the internet please refer to article: Registering your SonicWall Security Appliance
CAUTION: By design, the SonicWall License Manager cannot be configured to use a third party proxy server. Networks that direct all HTTP and HTTPS traffic through a third party proxy server may experience License Manager issues.
