  1. License (".licence" extension).
  2. Firmware update (".maj" extension).
    The firewall will then be restarted.

    3. IMPORTANT
    The USB key must be removed when the firewall is restarting.

  3. Configuration backup file (".na" extension).
  4. SMC connecting package (".pack" extension).
  5. Certificates (“.p12” extension), from SNS version 3.9.0 onwards.
  6. Password of the admin account (".pwd" extension), from SNS version 3.9.0 onwards.
