HA License Configuration Overview
You can configure HA license synchronization by associating 
two SonicWALL security appliances as HA Primary and HA 
Secondary on mysonicwall.com. Note that the Backup 
appliance of your HA pair is referred to as the HA Secondary 
unit on mysonicwall.com. 
You must purchase a single set of security services licenses for 
the HA Primary appliance. To use Stateful HA, you must first 
activate the Stateful High Availability Upgrade license for the 
primary unit in SonicOS. This is automatic if your appliance is 
connected to the Internet. See 
 
License synchronization is used during HA so that the Backup 
appliance can maintain the same level of network protection 
provided before the failover. To enable HA, you can use the 
SonicOS UI to configure your two appliances as a HA pair in 
Active/Idle mode.
Mysonicwall.com provides several methods of associating the 
two appliances. You can start by registering a new appliance, 
and then choosing an already-registered unit to associate it 
with. You can associate two units that are both already 
registered, or you can select a registered unit and then add a 
new appliance with which to associate it.
Note:
After registering new SonicWALL appliances on 
mysonicwall.com, you must also register each 
appliance from the SonicOS management interface by 
clicking the registration link on the System > Status 
page. This allows each unit to synchronize with the 
SonicWALL license server and share licenses with the 
associated appliance.
