Follow these steps to activate your new Advanced SD-WAN license on the firewall.
  1. Locate the activation codes for the Advanced 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.
  2. 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.
    1. Log in to the web interface and then select DeviceSupport.
    2. Click Activate support using authorization code.
    3. Enter your Authorization Code and then click OK.
  3. Activate each- Advanced 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.
