Activate/Retrieve a Firewall Management License on the Panorama
Virtual Appliance
In order to manage devices on Panorama, you
need to activate a firewall management license generated by PAN-OS.
The device management license you activate determines the number
of devices Panorama can manage. Log Collectors and WildFire appliances
are not treated as managed devices and do not count toward the number
of devices allotted by the device management license.
Before
activating and retrieving a firewall management license on the Panorama
virtual appliance, you must Register
Panorama. If you are running an evaluation license and want
to apply a license that you purchased, you must still register and
activate/retrieve the purchased license. Additionally, you must
then change the serial number of the Panorama from the evaluation
serial number to the production serial number.
