Before You Register
You need a MySonicWALL account to register the Dell
SonicWALL NSA E6500. You can create a new MySonicWALL
account on www.mysonicwall.com or directly from the Dell
SonicWALL management interface. This section describes how
to create an account by using the Web site.
You can use MySonicWALL to register your Dell SonicWALL
appliance and activate or purchase licenses for Security
Services, Analyzer Reporting and other services, support, or
software before you even connect your device. This allows you
to prepare for your deployment before making any changes to
your existing network.
For a High Availability configuration, you must use
MySonicWALL to associate a secondary unit that can share the
Security Services licenses with your primary appliance.
Note: Your NSA E6500 does not need to be powered on
during account creation or during the MySonicWALL
registration and licensing process.
Note: After registering a new Dell SonicWALL appliance on
MySonicWALL, you must also register the appliance
from the SonicOS management interface. This allows
the unit to synchronize with the License Server and to
share licenses with the associated appliance, if any.
See Accessing the Management Interface, on page 30.
