Is Installing Application and threats from file possible without a license for PA-820?

L0 Member

Hi Community,

I have a spare firewall PA-820 that I need to upgrade from 10.1.6-h3 to 10.2.0 but it returns an error asking me to update the content version. Please see picture below:

 But when I try to upload the content version, it asks me for a license.

I remember doing the same procedure last year without the device requesting a license. Is this something new?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Rachid5 ,

 

You will need a threat prevention license to install the apps and threats content update. If this is a lab device, you can look into purchasing a lab license that can include all the required subscriptions for the firewall.
