Licensing Application Control

Application Intelligence and Control has two components:

•	The Intelligence component is licensed as App Visualization, and provides identification and reporting of application traffic on the Dashboard > Real-Time Monitor and AppFlow Monitor pages.

•	The Control component is licensed as App Control, and allows you to create and enforce custom App Control and App Rules policies for logging, blocking, and bandwidth management of application traffic handled by your network.

App Visualization and App Control are licensed together in a bundle with other security services including SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus (GAV), Anti-Spyware, and Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS).

NOTE: Upon registration on MySonicWALL, or when you load SonicOS onto a registered SonicWALL device, supported SonicWALL appliances begin an automatic 30-day trial license for App Visualization and App Control, and application signatures are downloaded to the appliance.

A free 30-day trial is also available for the other security services in the bundle, but it is not automatically enabled as it is for App Visualization and App Control. You can start the additional free trials on the individual Security Services pages in SonicOS, or on MySonicWALL.

Once the App Visualization feature is manually enabled on the AppFlow > Flow Reporting page (see AppFlow > Flow Reporting ), you can view real-time application traffic on the Dashboard > Real-Time Monitor page and application activity in other Dashboard pages for the identified/classified flows from the firewall application signature database.

To begin using App Control, you must enable it in the App Control Global Settings section of the Firewall > App Control Advanced page:

To create policies using App Rules (included with the App Control license), select Enable App Rules on the Firewall > App Rules page:

The Dell SonicWALL Licensing server provides the App Visualization and App Control license keys to the firewall when you begin a 30-day trial (upon registration) or purchase a Security Services license bundle.

Licensing is available on www.mysonicwall.com on the Service Management - Associated Products page under GATEWAY SERVICES.

The Security Services license bundle includes licenses for the following subscription services:

•	App Visualization

•	App Control

•	Gateway Anti-Virus

•	Gateway Anti-Spyware

•	Intrusion Prevention Service

Application signature updates and signature updates for other Security Services are periodically downloaded to the firewall as long as these services are licensed.

NOTE: If you disable Visualization in the SonicOS management interface, application signature updates are discontinued until the feature is enabled again.

When High Availability is configured between two firewalls, the firewalls can share the Security Services license. To use this feature, you must register the firewalls on MySonicWALL as Associated Products. Both appliances must be the same Dell SonicWALL network security appliance model.

IMPORTANT: For a High Availability pair, even if you first register your appliances on MySonicWALL, you must individually register both the Primary and the Secondary appliances from the SonicOS management interface while logged into the individual management IP address of each appliance. This allows the Secondary unit to synchronize with the firewall license server and share licenses with the associated Primary appliance. When Internet access is restricted, you can manually apply the shared licenses to both appliances.
