Follow these steps to activate your new SD-WAN license on the firewall.
Locate the activation codes for the SD-WAN licenses you
purchased.
When you purchased your subscriptions you should have received an email from
Palo Alto Networks customer service listing the activation code associated
with each subscription. If you cannot locate this email, contact Customer Support to obtain your activation codes
before you proceed.
Activate your Support SD-WAN license.
You will not be able to update your PAN-OS software if you do not have a
valid Support license.
Log in to the web interface and then select DeviceSupport.
Click Activate support using authorization
code.
Enter your Authorization Code and then click
OK.
Activate each SD-WAN license you purchased.
Select DeviceLicenses and then activate your licenses and subscriptions in one of
the following ways:
Retrieve license keys from license server—Use
this option if you activated your license on the Customer Support portal.
Activate feature using authorization code—Use
this option to enable purchased subscriptions using an authorization
code for licenses that have not been previously activated on the support
portal. When prompted, enter the Authorization
Code and then click OK.
Manually upload license key—Use this option if
your firewall does not have connectivity to the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support
Portal. In this case, you must download a license key file
from the support site on an internet-connected computer and then upload
to the firewall.
To automate activation using the Customer Support Portal API, see the
process to Activate Licenses. This
process works for both the hardware and VM-Series firewalls.
Verify that the SD-WAN license is successfully activated.
On the DeviceLicenses page, verify that the SD-WAN license is
successfully activated.
