My service contract is about to end, and we are not planning on extending it as we are replacing our 3020s with some other firewalls. We are still planning on using the firewalls in our network, but not to do the threat detection stuff.
I would like to make sure theses boxes still work if they are not under a service contract. It seems silly to have to ask this, but the Meraki stuff we bought from Cisco gets bricked if you don't have a valid contract for it.
I understand I will not get anymore updates on the contract expires, but just want to use the box as a state-full firewall.
Thanks in advance,
Kendall

You are correct. When the service contract ends, that means no more dynamic updates, no support, etc. But the Firewall remains fully functional as a state-full firewall.

The PA firewall is also able to continue to use the last downloaded dynamic updates as well.
