This section explains the steps to provision the below listed products under MSSP Monthly services:
License expiry date for TZ or NSa devices that are licensed through the monthly billing program shows as end of the month but the license gets renewed every month automatically.
To provision a product
Select Firewall from the list.
You can either Register a New Firewall or select the already registered firewall from the list. When you select:
An existing firewall from the list, displays Active Annual & Perpetual Licensing statuses, Security Services Bundle and Data retention add-on.
Provisioning an existing annual license in Monthly Billing overwrites the remaining value of the license and will be lost.
Select the Security Service Bundle.

Check I understand that by provisioning monthly licensing, the remaining value of my annual licenses will be lost. Perpetual licensing such as SSL VPN is additive and is not overwritten box to overwrite an existing license value.
The Security Services Bundle and/or Data retention add-on is overwritten when the service is selected other than No Change. This only applies if you are converting an existing term or annual license with future validity. This does not affect perpetual licenses like SSLVPN/GVC or Stateful High Availability.
Enable SSLVPN Users to increase SSLVPN Users count under Monthly Billing.
Enter the number of monthly licenses to be added in SSLVPN Users field.
Adding SSLVPN Users count on this screen, adds the number to the existing default count. Total count of licenses is equal to total of default and monthly licenses. For example, if the unit has 2 default licenses and add 10 monthly licenses, total license count will be 12.
Set the Expiry Date for monthly licenses.
You can set the Expiry Date if want to use the monthly licenses for any specific period or else set it to Never.
Check STATUS of the added Product in the Monthly Products table.
| Active | The Product is successfully provisioned, and ready to use. |
| Provisioning in progress | The Product provisioning is in progress. Wait until the status is changed to Active to use the Product. |
| Expired | The Product is expired and not available for use. |
You can find the CSC Console icon for the Active Products except for NSv Products.
