SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Manual Upgrade for Closed Environments
If your SonicWALL security appliance is deployed in a high security environment that does not
allow direct Internet connectivity from the SonicWALL security appliance, you can enter the
encrypted license key information from http://www.mysonicwall.com manually on the System
> Licenses page in the SonicWALL Management Interface.
Note Manual upgrade of the encrypted License Keyset is only for Closed Environments. If your
SonicWALL security appliance is connected to the Internet, it is recommended you use the
automatic registration and Security Services upgrade features of your appliance.
From a Computer Connected to the Internet
Step 1 Make sure you have an account at http://www.mysonicwall.com and your SonicWALL security
appliance is registered to the
account before proceeding.
Step 2 After logging into www.mysonicwall.com, click on your registered SonicWALL security
appliance listed in Registered SonicWALL Products.
Step 3 Click the View License Keyset link. The scrambled text displayed in the text box is the License
Keyset for the selected SonicWALL security appliance and activated Security Services. Copy
the Keyset text for pasting into the System > Licenses page or print the page if you plan to
manually type in the Keyset into the SonicWALL security appliance.
From the Management Interface of your SonicWALL Security Appliance
Step 1 Make sure your SonicWALL security appliance is running SonicOS Standard or Enhanced 2.1
(or higher).
Step 2 Paste (or type) the Keyset (from the step 3) into the Keyset field in the Manual Upgrade section
of the System > Licenses page (SonicOS).
Step 3 Click the Submit or the Apply button to update your SonicWALL security appliance. The status
field at the bottom of the page displays The configuration has been updated.
Step 4 You can generate the System > Diagnostics > Tech Support Report to verify the upgrade
details.
Note After the manual upgrade, the System > Licenses page does not contain any registration
and upgrade information.
Caution The warning message: SonicWALL Registration Update Needed. Please update your
registration information remains on the System > Status page after you have registered
your SonicWALL security appliance. Ignore this message.
