Licensing Requirements for Active/Active Clustering

Active/Active Clustering licenses included with the purchase of a SonicWall Security Appliance are shown in the table below. Some platforms require additional licensing to use the Active/Active Clustering features. SonicOS Expanded licenses can be purchased on MySonicWall or from a SonicWall reseller.

Active/Active Clustering licenses must be activated on each Security Appliance, either by registering the unit on MySonicWall from the SonicOS management interface, or by applying the license keyset to each unit if Internet access is not available.

You can view system licenses on DEVICE | Settings > Licenses. This page also provides a way to log into MySonicWall. For information about licensing, see SonicOS 7.0 Settings document.

When the Security Appliances in the Active/Active cluster have Internet access, each Security Appliance in the cluster must be individually registered from the SonicOS management interface while you are logged into the individual management IP address of each Security Appliance. This allows the Secondary units to synchronize with the SonicWall licensing server and share licenses with the associated Primary Security Appliances in each HA pair.
