Registering the NSv Virtual Machine as BYOL

This section describes how to register an NSv when it is being deployed as “Bring Your Own License” (BYOL).

After you have installed and configured network settings for your NSv Series virtual machine, you can log in to SonicOS management and register it in your MySonicWall account. Registration of your SonicWall NSv Series follows the same process as for SonicWall hardware-based appliances.

System functionality is extremely limited if registration is not completed. See Using System Diagnostics for more information.

To register your NSv virtual machine

  1. Point your browser to your NSv Series WAN or LAN IP address and log in as the administrator.

  2. Navigate to HOME | Dashboard > System > Summary.

  3. Click Register Device.

    The MySonicWall dialog box displays.

  4. Enter the MySonicWall Username and Password.

  5. Enter the Firewall Serial Number and Auth Code.

    To obtain your serial number and authentication code, contact SonicWall Sales at https://www.sonicwall.com/customers/contact-sales.

  6. Select the Policy Mode Switching; Classic or Policy.

  7. Click Register.

    The Restarting Device warning message displays.

  8. After the device restarts, log in and confirm that the licensing is enabled.

    If you are unable to access MySonicWall, navigate to DEVICE | Settings > Licenses and use the Keyset, Serial Number, Authorization, and Registration code provided by your SonicWall representative and click Apply.
