If your SonicWall security appliance is deployed in a high security environment that does not allow direct Internet connectivity from the SonicWall security appliance, you can enter the encrypted license key information from http://www.MySonicWall.com manually on the System > Licenses page in the SonicWall Management Interface.
The Manual Upgrade section allows you to activate your services by typing the service activation key supplied with the service subscription not activated on MySonicWall. Type the activation key from the product into the Enter upgrade key field and then click Submit.
Manually upgrading is a two-step process:
