Licenses not synchronized with MySonicWall - resetting the trust

12/20/2019 2721 25348

DESCRIPTION:

This article explains how to solve the licenses synchronization issue among the SonicWall and MySonicWall.

CAUSE:

Sometimes after some configuration or deployment changes, the SonicWall appliance is not trusted from the backend so it can't get the licenses synchronized. This causes a discrepancy between what licenses show in mysonicwall.com and what licenses the unit itself shows on the licenses or Security Services Page.

RESOLUTION:

1. First of all make sure the License Manager is reachable. You can test it from Investigate |System Diagnostics , select "Check network Settings" from the Diagnostic Tools drop-down menu: make sure everything is responding.
   1. 
2. Try to synchronize the licenses by clicking Synchronize button on Manage | Licenses.
3. If synchronizing does not resolve the issue, go to the Diag page. The Diag page can be reached by typing in the LAN IP of the SonicWall in the browser, with a  /diag.html at the end.
   

   EXAMPLE: 192.168.168.168/diag.html.

4. Before moving to the next step please confirm you have the username and password for mysonciwall.com to register the device once again.
5. On the Diag Page:
   1. Click the "Reset Licenses and Security Services Info" button and then click "Close" at the top of the page.
   2. Clear out the browser cache and cookies.
   3. Close the browser and launch a new one.
   4. Log into the management interface, and click the "Update Registration" link.
   5. Insert your MySonicWall username and password.
   6. Now check the licenses under Manage | Licenses.
6. If the licenses still haven't synchronized at this point, then contact technical support to Reset Trust. Once the trust has been reset.
   

   NOTE: Sometimes a reboot of the SonicWall is needed after the reset of the licenses and security services info.
   The problem should now be resolved.
