Managing Licenses

Do not overwrite any .lic files in the license directory. If another file in that directory has the same name, rename the newly received file. The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway software calculates your licensed features based on all .lic files that are uploaded to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway.

Do not edit a .lic file or the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway software ignores any features associated with that license file. The contents of the file are encrypted and must remain intact. Should you copy, rename, or insert a license file multiple times, the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway uses only the original file and ignores any duplicate files.

1Click the VPN Gateway Cluster tab and then click the Licensing tab.

2Next to Upload a license file, click Browse and locate the .lic file that you want to upload.

3 Select the .lic file and then click Open to upload the license file.

4If more than one Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is installed on the same network, on the Publish tab, click Publish to all gateways.

To remove the licenses, next to Clear all licensing, click Remove All.

As businesses increasingly rely on a remote workforce, the need for secure and reliable connectivity has never been more critical. WatchGuard's SSL VPN features advanced security technologies that ensure data integrity and confidentiality while enabling seamless access to applications and resources.

Moreover, WatchGuard Technologies includes multiple authentication options, adding another layer of security.

This could involve mobile device verification or biometric authentication, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Another key characteristic of WatchGuard’s SSL VPN is its integration with other WatchGuard security solutions. Businesses can benefit from a comprehensive security posture by leveraging firewalls and intrusion prevention systems along with the SSL VPN. This holistic approach ensures that remote connections are continually monitored and secured against evolving cyber threats.

Scalability is also a crucial aspect of WatchGuard's SSL VPN, accommodating growing organizations with changing needs. The solution can easily scale to support an increasing number of remote users without compromising performance. With robust performance metrics, businesses can ensure that even during peak usage times, the VPN remains responsive and reliable.

In summary, WatchGuard Technologies' SSL VPN solution combines ease of use, robust security, flexible authentication, and scalability. These features make it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to provide secure remote access to their employees while maintaining a strong defense against cyber threats. With WatchGuard, businesses can confidently navigate the challenges of a digital landscape, ensuring their network remains secure as they embrace remote work.
