Page 8 Before You Register

Before You Register

You need a MySonicWALL account to register the SonicWALL

NSA appliance. You can create a new MySonicWALL account

on www.mysonicwall.com or directly from the SonicWALL

management interface. This section describes how to create an

account by using the Web site.

If you already have a MySonicWALL account, go to Registering

and Licensing Your Appliance on MySonicWALL - page 10 to

postpone registration until after having set up the appliance.

Skip ahead to Deployment Scenarios - page 14 and register

your appliance directly from the management interface once

you reach Accessing the Management Interface - page 20.

Note: For a High Availability configuration, you must use

MySonicWALL to associate a backup unit that can

share the Security Services licenses with your primary

SonicWALL.

If you do not yet have a MySonicWALL account, you can use

MySonicWALL to register your SonicWALL appliance and

activate or purchase licenses for Security Services, ViewPoint

Reporting and other services, support, or software before you

even connect your device. This method allows you to prepare

for your deployment before making any changes to your

existing network.

Note: Your SonicWALL NSA appliance does not need to be

powered on during account creation or during the

MySonicWALL registration and licensing process.

After registering a new SonicWALL appliance on

MySonicWALL, you must also register the appliance from the

SonicOS management interface. This allows the unit to

synchronize with the SonicWALL License Server and to share

licenses with the associated appliance, if any. See Accessing

the Management Interface - page 20.
