Home use Licensing

I recently had a PA220-R's license expire and in the past PA was trying to charge 10k+ for getting a new support contract for a small home-use firewall. Has this changed at all? Would be nice to get a new support contract+licenses for a decent home-use price.

@SubZ3r0,

PAN doesn't really do home-use at all, nor do they maintain any consumer channels for doing so. Generally what people do is get a lab licensed unit if they want to use a PAN firewall at home. While I'm not sure this is technically allowed for a licensing aspect, I've never actually heard of it causing any issues for folks.

Hello,

Check with your sales team for a 'Lab' license.
