Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
China license activation. The Panorama you use to manage
Prisma Access
China must be installed and located in mainland China. If it is a hardware appliance, it must be based in mainland China; if it is a VM-series Panorama, the processing location must be in mainland China. These license activation instructions assume that you already have deployed your VM-Series or hardware Panorama with the China-specific Panorama image.
Make sure that you have reviewed the requirements and prerequisites for configuring a
Prisma Access
China deployment. Be aware that the CLI commands must be completed prior to generating your one-time password (OTP).
  1. After you receive an email from Palo Alto Networks identifying the license you are activating, including all your add-ons and capacities, select
    Get Started with
    Prisma Access
    in your email to begin the activation process.
  2. Log in with your email address.
    • If you have a Palo Alto Networks Customer Support account, then enter the email address you used when you registered for that account and select
      Next
      .
    • If you do not have a Palo Alto Networks Customer Support account, then
      Create a New Account
      Password
      Next
      .
    The service uses this email address for the user account assigned to the tenant that you use for this license. This tenant, and any others created by this email address, will have the
    Multitenant Superuser
    role.
