IoT Security
Licenses

Extend and convert
IoT Security
licenses.
You have several options when a license for an
IoT Security
subscription or a third-party integration add-on expires. If you no longer want a firewall to subscribe to
IoT Security
services or integrate with third-party systems, you can let the license expire. If you do want to continue using these services or integrations, you can extend trial and eval licenses, renew paid licenses, and even convert licenses from one type to another.

License Extensions

Before buying
IoT Security
, you might first try it out and evaluate it. The initial term of a trial or eval (evaluation) license is 60 days and can be extended in 30-day increments. To extend the trial or eval term, request a 30-day extension through your Palo Alto Networks sales representative or sales engineer.

License Renewals

As a paid license approaches its expiration date, you can renew it so that there’s no break in service, the next license beginning immediately after the current license ends. You can renew the following licenses:
  • IoT Security Subscription lab license
  • IoT Security
    Subscription prod (production) license
  • IoT Security
    , Doesn’t Require Data Lake (DRDL) Subscription lab license
  • IoT Security
    , DRDL Subscription prod license
  • Basic
    IoT Security
    Third-party Integrations Add-on license
  • Advanced
    IoT Security
    Third-party Integrations Add-on license
To renew any of these licenses, contact your Palo Alto Networks sales representative.

License Conversions

A license conversion is the change of one license type to another. The license can be for an
IoT Security
subscription or a third-party integration add-on.
You can convert an
IoT Security
license on a firewall from trial to prod, but not from eval to prod. An eval license is for an eval firewall, which is Palo Alto Networks property and loaned out for temporary use. However, if you create an
IoT Security
tenant URL for eval licenses on eval firewalls and then replace them with prod licenses on prod firewalls, you can continue using the same
IoT Security
tenant URL.
Palo Alto Networks supports the following conversions:
IoT Security
license conversions
  • Trial > Prod
  • IoT Security
    Subscription >
    IoT Security
    , Doesn't Require Data Lake (DRDL) Subscription
  • IoT Security
    , DRDL Subscription >
    IoT Security
    Subscription
    Activate a
    Cortex Data Lake
    instance before converting from a subscription that doesn't require a data lake to one that does.
IoT Security
Third-party Integrations Add-on license conversions
  • Basic > Advanced
  • Advanced > Basic
All conversions can be done after the current license expires at the end of its term, but only conversions considered to be upgrades are allowed midterm. Midterm conversions take place immediately, replacing the previous term with the new term. The following conversions are considered to be upgrades:
IoT Security
license upgrades
  • Trial version of any type of license > Prod version of any type of license
  • IoT Security
    Subscription >
    IoT Security
    , DRDL Subscription
IoT Security
Third-party Integrations Add-on license upgrades
  • Trial version of any type of add-on > Prod version of any type of add-on
  • Basic > Advanced
Converting
IoT Security
licenses from trial to prod generates a new purchase order with a link to a new onboarding workflow. During the onboarding process, you can select the existing
IoT Security
tenant you were previously using for trial purposes. The rest of the onboarding workflow follows the same mechanism for activating prod licenses on firewalls as it did for activating trial licenses.
To convert any licenses, contact your Palo Alto Networks sales representative.
