Licensing and Registering Your NSv

You can choose to prepay for a fixed license period, or pay a recurring fee. You make this choice when selecting the subscription type in the AWS marketplace. Installation procedures for these two options are identical, but registration steps differ.

There is no migration path between BYOL and PAYG options, so if you choose to change the licensing model, it is necessary to first export the configuration data from the NSv instance and then disable it. You can then import the configuration data into a new NSv instance with the preferred licensing model.

The following topics describe how to deploy your NSv using these two approaches: BYOL (Bring Your Own License) and PAYG (Pay As You Go).

• Registering the NSv Appliance as BYOL from SonicOS

• Registering the NSv Appliance as PAYG
