Register the Usage-Based Model of the VM-Series Firewall for Public Clouds (no auth code)

To register usage-based firewalls on the Palo Alto Networks Customer Support Portal (CSP) you can use automatic registration or manual registration. The automatic registration of the usage-based firewalls enables you to seamlessly register the firewall as soon as you launch it and access the site license entitlements associated with your CSP account. For details, see Install a Device Certificate on the VM-Series Firewall.

Use the following workflow to manually register your VM-Series firewalls. Before you begin the manual registration process, log in to the VM-Series firewall and jot down the serial number and the CPU ID (UUID is optional) from the dashboard.
