Creating a MySonicWall Account

A MySonicWall account is required to obtain the OVA file for the initial installation of the NSv virtual machine, for product registration to enable full functionality of SonicOS features, and for access to licensed security services. For a High Availability configuration, MySonicWall provides a way to associate a secondary NSv that can share security service licenses with your primary virtual machine.

MySonicWall registration information is not sold or shared with any other company.
