How can we activate an authcode for a feature license in PA-VM firewall using ansible? I tried panos_lic module, but it did not worked.

Hello All,

 

I am using ansible to deploy a bunch of PA-VMs. I have been using ansible to push various configurations to it including the base license. However, I am unable to update an authcode for a feature license (for example DNS) using the panos_lic module. May I know if anyone can share more thought on this? Basically I want to update feature license in PA-VM using ansible. Any help/guidance will be of great help !!

 

Regards,

Praveen

Hi @pprasannan, did you use force: true? This module is focused on applying auth codes for initial licensing of VM-Series when it has no serial number, so if your firewall has a serial number already and you are looking to add extra licenses like DNS, WildFire, etc, then it will skip the attempt to use the auth code. Try with that extra parameter, and then share the error messages or behaviour if it still does not work. Thanks

Hello Jimmy,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I made this work through xml command but
I will definitely give this a try and update.

Thanks again for your suggestion.
