Warning: No Valid DNS Security License

L3 Networker

Hi Team,

 

I am using PA-3220 . We have only Thread Prevention & Wildfire License. Before Anti-Spyware -DNS Signature was using DNS-Snikhole.

 

Now we change to block we start getting Warning No Vaild DNS Security License . Do we had to buy a license as it is working?

Hi @NavidAlam ,

 

The warning indicates you have a policy configured with no license to support it.  Setting the actions to allow in the DNS Polices tab of your Anti-Spyware profile will remove the error.  You cannot modify the default profiles.  If you are using one, you will need to create a custom profile and use it in your security policy instead of the default.

Here is a shot from 9.1.  The Packet Capture must be set to disable also.

None of these suggestions worked for me, setting all to Allow or Default, did not remove the No Valid DNS Security License. I was able to remove the warning by deleting all botnet-domains from Spyware profile in cli. More details here https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/no-valid-dns-security-license-resolved/td-p/5124...

On newer versions (I'm assuming 10.0.0 and newer), in addition to changing the POLICY ACTION to allow and PACKET CAPTURE to disable, you need to change the LOG SEVERITY to none. I hope this helps someone. (This worked successfully on PAN-OS 10.2.2 & 10.2.3-h2)

This did help someone...me! Thanks.
