Description
What happens when SonicWave license expires?
Cause
Upon license expiry customers would like to know if traffic can continue to flow
Resolution
SonicWall’s licensing model allows user to assign a subscription license directly to an access point. The subscription license is two types:
- Secure cloud WiFi management & support.
- Advanced Secure cloud WiFi management & support (includes security services such as CFS, CaptureATP, Geo-IP/Botnet, etc).
Upon subscription license expiry on the SonicWave, the traffic will continue to go through. There will be no service interruption. The only constraint would be the user can not update the configuration on th wireless network. The network operation will continue to function with the last saved configuration. This design will allow the business operations to continue as usual. Upon renewing the subscription license for the SonicWave, the admin will be able to update WiFi network configuration on a need basis.This behavior applies to all access points managed by either the WiFi Cloud Manager (WCM), or SonicWall Next Generation Firewall.
