Manually Add or Remove a Feature Key

You must add a feature key to a new device, and you must update the device feature key after you activate a service or upgrade option. The updated feature key enables the functionality on your device. To update the feature key manually, you can download the feature key from the WatchGuard website, and then paste it into your device configuration file.

  2. Log in to your WatchGuard account.
  3. On the Manage Products page, in the Network Security section, click View Products.
  4. Select a friendly name to open details for that device or product.

  1. Click Get Feature Key.
  2. Click Copy.
