Differnece between Threat Prevention Licenses

Drew-Gilman — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 20:25:45 GMT

Hello everyone,

In our environment, we deploy both PA-220's and PA-220R's in the field. Sometimes they are deployed in HA pairs.

I noticed that there's two different types of Threat Prevention license available.

PA-220 (Non Redundant setup)

Mfg. Part: PAN-PA-220-TP-3YR

PA-220 (1 device in redundant pair)

Mfg.Part: PAN-PA-220-TP-3YR-HA2

PA-220R (Non Redundant setup)

Mfg. Part: PAN-PA-220R-TP-3YR-R

PA-220R (1 device in redundant pair)

Mfg.Part: PAN-PA-220R-TP-3YR-HA2

Does anyone know what the difference is? I don't understand why there's a specific license for each type of deployment. Model difference, sure, but HA pair?

Thanks for reading.

Drew

The fee for 2 HA licenses is typically lower than 2 non-HA licenses (at least if you have an active/passive cluster, not sure if this also counts for an active/active cluster).

The ",,,-R" is a license renewal.
