  Hi Enzino,

  Yes, the NSv 200 instance installed as a 30‐day free trial can be converted easily to a full production licensed NSv 100 instance.

  Note: The licensed features may be suspended during the time of deregistering the trial instance and registering the production instance. After the successful registration, the licensed features will remain to function.

  Please find steps below to convert your free trial to a production version:

  1. After purchasing SonicWall NSv license from the distributor. You will receive a fulfillment email with the new serial number and authentication code.
  2. Log into SonicOS on your free trial instance.
  3. Navigate to the Updates | Licenses page in the MANAGE view.
  4. Under Manage Security Services Online, click the DEREGISTER button.
  5. Click OK in the confirmation dialog. The virtual firewall returns to the unregistered state.
  6. Click the Register link in the top banner or on the MONITOR | System > Status page.
  7. Enter your MySonicWall credentials and then click LOGIN.
  8. Enter the Serial Number and Authentication Code you received after purchasing your NSv Series instance.
  9. Click Submit.
  10. The licensing server acquires the necessary information from the NSv Series appliance and your MySonicWall account. If asked, you can specify a Friendly Name or Product Group for the NSv Series appliance.
  11. Acknowledge the registration completion notification by clicking Continue. SonicOS automatically restarts and then displays the login page.
  12. Log into SonicOS.In the MONITOR view, the System > Status page now shows your licensed security services, and the Register link is no longer displayed.

  Please let me know if any questions or clarifications.
