When you call WatchGuard Technical Support, you are prompted for your LiveSecurity License key. We use this key to track the information you report about your network, and to add this issue to our database of all the support issues you have brought to our attention.

After you enter your LiveSecurity License key, you are automatically routed to a support technician familiar with your WatchGuard product. If no one is available, our call manager will speak with you, logging your call and a description of your issue to ensure the fastest possible response. The call manager may be aware of new documentation or FAQs that can aid you immediately.

Before calling Technical Support, you should:

Check online for an FAQ.

Document your question.

Be prepared with your LiveSecurity key.

Have completed the Network Configuration Worksheet.
