How to assign a subscription to an appliance

Overview

Edge Threat Management NG Firewall includes a complimentary 14-day trial of its paid apps. To continue using the paid apps beyond the trial period you must assign a subscription to your appliance. You can assign a subscription to your appliance at the end of the checkout process, or later using ETM Dashboard.

Prerequisites

• You must have a ETM Dashboard account.
• Your NG Firewall appliance must be registered to your ETM Dashboard account. See How to register an Edge Threat Management appliance in ETM Dashboard.

Assigning a subscription after checkout
