SMA - Geo-IP & Botnet Filter License

RedNet

Hi,

I am just wondering what is the deal with licensing this feature on an SMA.

I have a few SMA 500v's for customers in Azure. I buy the appliance license, the additional users licenses and the 3yr support license.

After a year the Geo-IP & Botnet Filter License is flagging for renewal. I have never seen this as a license with a SKU on any price list or datasheet?

Is this feature really an additional license and if so what is the SKU?

Cheers

Hi @RedNet this must be a reoccurring issue, you need to contact support to have them put the GeoIP License in sync with the rest. There is no GeoIP SKU.

I had this at least one time and the Backend Team managed to sync the License with the Expiration Date of the Support Services.

Thanks @BWC - I had submitted a support ticket before this post and they were pretty quick to respond and add another year to the Geo+Botnet feature..... but only another year and not in sync with the other license to 2023, so looks like I will be chasing again next year 😅

Hope all is well with you and cheers!
