Installing the firewall license

When the permanent license is installed on your firewall, it replaces the temporary license. This will activate the features and options subscribed in the firewall's maintenance pack.

Retrieving the firewall license file

  1. Log in to your MyStormshield personal area.
  2. Go to Products > Product management.
  3. In the Product management area, identify your firewall with the help of the Maximize and Minimize buttons, or by entering its serial number in the search zone. Click on it.
  4. In the Downloads section on the right, click on the link next to License file. Accept the download of the .licence file.
