Before You Register
You need a mysonicwall.com account to register the SonicWALL NSA appliance. You can create a new mysonicwall.com 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.
You can use mysonicwall.com 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 allows you to prepare for your deployment before making any changes to your existing network.
For a High Availability configuration, you must use mysonicwall.com to associate a backup unit that can share the Security Services licenses with your primary SonicWALL.
Note: Your SonicWALL NSA appliance does not need to be powered on during account creation or during the mysonicwall.com registration and licensing process.
Note: After registering a new SonicWALL appliance on mysonicwall.com, 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 22.
If you already have a mysonicwall.com account, go to Registering and Licensing Your Appliance on mysonicwall.com to register your appliance on mysonicwall.com.
