Delete Anti-virus update

goncalocontente — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 16:17:56 GMT

Hi all,

I have a HA cluster in which a trial threat prevention license was activated on active firewall only. Thus on the HA widget i have mismatch on anti virus version. Since it is already expired, in order to bring the firewalls back in sync, I wonder if its safe to delete via CLI the currently installed Anti virus update with the command "delete anti-virus update [file]".

Please advise

Hello @goncalocontente

I would recommend to delete expired license first. Here is the KB , then delete the actual antivirus content package either from GUI under: Device > Dynamic Updates or through CLI as you suggested. This should resolve the issue.

Kind Regards

Pavel

Hello @PavelK,

Thanks for your suggestion. BTW this was a trial license, do you know if once I purchase a threat prevention license does it has to be a renewal license?

Hi @goncalocontente ,

You do not renew trial licenses. If the NGFW ever have an active Threat Prevention licenses, you will need to renew. If not, it would be a new purchase.

Thanks,

Tom
