Synchronize Feature Keys
You can use Firebox System Manager to get a current feature key if you have already activated the device in your WatchGuard account:
- Select Tools > Synchronize Feature Key.
If you are logged in to the device as a Device Monitor user, the Synchronize Feature Key dialog box appears. If you are logged in as a Device Administrator, the feature keys are synchronized.
- In the User Name text box, type the name of a user account with Device Administrator credentials.
- In the Passphrase text box, type the passphrase for the user.
- From the Authentication Server drop-down list, select the authentication for the user account you specified.
- If you select an Active Directory authentication server, in the Domain text box, type the domain for the user account you specified.
- Click OK.
The Firebox connects to the WatchGuard website and downloads the current feature key to your Firebox .
For a FireCluster, Firebox System Manager synchronizes the feature key only for the cluster master. To synchronize the feature key for a specific member of a FireCluster, connect to the cluster interface IP address of that member before you synchronize the feature key.
