Activate `Cortex Data Lake`

This is how you activate Cortex Data Lake.

After purchasing Cortex Data Lake, you should have received an email with a link to activate Cortex Data Lake. Click on the link and follow the steps below to complete activation.

You do not need to follow this procedure if you have already activated Cortex Data Lake as part of another product purchase (for example, Prisma Access).

If you are using PAN-OS 10.0 or later firewalls, and if you were sharing telemetry data with Palo Alto Networks prior to purchasing a Cortex Data Lake license, then you already have a small, unlicensed Cortex Data Lake instance. This instance exists solely for the purpose of storing your PAN-OS telemetry data.

When you activate your license Palo Alto Networks will upgrade this tenant to a full Cortex Data Lake instance, so long as the region you use to send telemetry data to Palo Alto Networks is the same region that you use when you activate your Cortex Data Lake license. If you use different regions for this purpose, then the small telemetry-specific tenant will not upgrade to your new, licensed Cortex Data Lake instance.

Click on the link in your purchase confirmation email.
