You activate term and subscription licenses for WatchGuard Compliance Reporting in the WatchGuard Support Center. The license activation process is different the first time you activate a license.
If you are a Subscriber with an active Compliance Reporting trial, when you activate your first license it replaces your trial license. The trial ends and your new license becomes active after approximately two minutes. When the new license becomes available, you lose any activity that you completed on the trial during the two minutes (for example, add, extend, or upgrade the trial).
The remainder of your trial period is not added to the expiration date of your new license.
