Monthly Billing License conversions for new NSM SaaS Licensing
Description
With the launch of NSM 3.0, we have also launched new licensing for NSM SaaS as well as to Firewall Bundles. For more details on these license changes, please refer to the NSM 3.0 FAQ.
As part of these changes, SonicWall has automatically converted the licenses on ALL firewalls that are using Monthly Billing for any services – this includes:
- Firewalls with Monthly Billing only for NSM SaaS (NSM Essential or NSM Advanced)
- Firewalls with Monthly Billing only for Security Services (TPSS, EPSS or APSS)
- Firewalls with Monthly Billing for Security Services and NSM SaaS
The table below outlines how the conversions were done for each firewall:
| Annual License | Monthly License | License Conversion Action |
| None | TPSS | Modified to EPSS (includes NSM SaaS with Essential Reporting (*) |
| None | TPSS + NSM Essentials | Modified to EPSS (includes NSM SaaS with Essential Reporting (*) |
| None | TPSS + NSM Advanced | Modified to EPSS Added NSM SaaS with 365-days Advanced Reporting & Analytics (*) |
