How to download PanOS VM image

gxx11661 — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 05:49:32 GMT

I am an individual(not business). I want to download Palo Alto VM image for lab test, may I know is this possible? If so, how could I do it? I have read some Internet post, it says I shall pay and get a "lab license"? If so, how much?

In addition, suppose I take the "PCNSE" certificate, will I able to access VM image? or it has its own separated lab environment?

You can get LAB licenses for a few hundred $ but you will still need to go through a business (palo licences b2b)

A good alternative is to create an account with one of the major cloud providers (azure, gcp,aws,..) and they will usually give you some free credit to play around in their environment

You can use that credit towards spinning up a cloud VM to experiment with

the PCNSE exam does not require access to a live environment
