  • FedRAMP email activation link
  • Gov Strata Logging Service
  • Gov Region
  • Role: Multitenant Superuser or Superuser with access to the FedRAMP Customer Support Portal (CSP) account
If you are a Panorama customer, Activate a License for Panorama-managed Prisma Access FedRAMP instead. If you are activating a single tenant, Activate a License for Single Tenant Cloud-managed Prisma Access FedRAMP instead.
After you receive an email from Palo Alto Networks identifying the FedRAMP license you are activating, including all your add-ons and capacities, Get Started with Prisma Access to begin the activation process. The service will help you with the process of claiming your license, creating your tenant, and managing your users.
  1. Select Get Started with Prisma Access in your email.
  2. Select the activation flow for MSP and Distributed Enterprise.
    • Use MSP and Distributed Enterprise on Cloud Management for first-time multitenant activation:
    • Use Cloud Management for return visits to multitenant license activation:
  3. Provide your work email address, Create your password, and Continue.
    The service uses this email address for the user account assigned to the tenant that you use for this license. This tenant, and any others created by this email address, will have the Multitenant Superuser role.
    • If you have a Palo Alto Networks Customer Support FedRAMP account, then enter the email address you used when you registered for that account.
    • If you do not have a Palo Alto Networks Customer Support FedRAMP account, then Create a New Account.
  4. Select your products to highlight them for activation, then Activate.
  5. You are automatically directed to Common ServicesSubscription & Add-ons, where you Claim the subscription for your product.
  6. Choose the FedRAMP Customer Support account number that you want to use to claim the license.
  7. Make sure that you intend to set up a multitenant hierarchy. This is typically for Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) or distributed enterprises. If you only want a single tenant, activate a license for single tenant cloud-managed Prisma Access FedRAMP instead.
    Create New tenant that you want to use for this license. This is not necessarily the actual tenant you will use when allocating this license but is, instead, the top-most, root-level name of the parent tenant service group under which you will create the child tenants and activate the licenses.
  8. Claim and continue.
  9. You are automatically directed to Tenant Management to the parent tenant where the license was claimed.
  10. Edit Tenant to give the tenant a name of your choice, such as ParentTenant in the examples that follow. You can also add a business vertical and a support contact.
  11. Add a New Tenant to create a multitenant hierarchy, such as ChildTenantEast and ChildTenantWest in the examples that follow. You can also add a business vertical and a support contact.
  12. Select a tenant where you want to add your licensed product.
    • Prisma Access can be activated against any tenant in the hierarchy — there is no requirement for the parent tenant to have Prisma Access activated.
    • The requirements are different if you add Prisma SD-WAN to an existing Prisma Access tenant.
  13. Select the Contract for the product in the Gov Region where you want to deploy your product.
    There is no cross-region aggregation. Make sure that all your tenants are in the same region for monitoring purposes.
  14. Toggle Activate Prisma Access to view your activation choices.
  15. Choose how to allocate the Prisma Access License:
    • Allocate part of the license to this tenant if you want to conserve part of the license for another tenant.
    • Allocate the entire license to this tenant if you do not have other tenants or if you have other licenses available to allocate to your other tenants.
    • Share a Prisma Access license
  16. Allocate licenses per number of mobile users (MU).
    • The maximum number of users available for your first tenant is based on your Prisma Access license quantity.
    • The number of users available for other tenants is based on the remainder after allocation.
    • Based on your license, you need a minimum capacity to share with another tenant. For example, Prisma Access local edition requires a minimum of 200 licenses that need to be allocated whether it's a root tenant or a child tenant, but Prisma Access global or worldwide edition requires a minimum of 1000 licenses that need to be allocated whether it's a root tenant or a child tenant.
      • If you have a license that is a combination of MU+RN together, you can’t split it into different tenants. For example, a 200 MU+RN local edition license still needs to be split as minimum 200 MU+RN in each tenant. You can’t have 200 MU in one tenant and 200 RN in another tenant.
  17. Allocate licenses per bandwidth of remote networks (RN).
    • The maximum amount of bandwidth available for your first tenant is based on your Prisma Access license quantity.
    • The amount of bandwidth available for other tenants is based on the remainder after allocation.
    • Based on your license, you need a minimum capacity to share with another tenant. For example, Prisma Access local edition requires 200 Mbps that need to be allocated whether it's a root tenant or a child tenant, but a Prisma Access global or worldwide requires min of 1000 Mbps that need to be allocated whether it's a root tenant or a child tenant.
      • If you have a license that is a combination of MU+RN together, you can’t split it into different tenants. For example, a 200 MU+RN local edition license still needs to be split as minimum 200 MU+RN in each tenant. You can’t have 200 MU in one tenant and 200 RN in another tenant.
  18. Choose how many locations to allocate to your tenant.
    • If you have a local edition license, the default number of locations is 5, and the number available for allocating to your tenants is based on the Additional Locations add-on. If you have a global or worldwide license, the number of locations is unlimited, so you do not have the option to add the quantity.
    • The select/deselect checkbox is available for toggle if you have chosen to allocate part of the license to this tenant for Prisma Access license sharing.
    • The number available for other tenants is based on the remainder after allocation.
  19. Set up your data lake.
    • Allocate part of the part of the available storage to this tenant if you want to conserve part of the storage for another tenant.
    • Allocate the entire available storage to this tenant if you do not have other tenants or if you will purchase additional capacity to allocate to your other tenants.
    • Based on your license, you need a minimum capacity to share with another tenant. For example, a Prisma Access local and business licenses require 1 TB.
    • See Strata Logging Service Getting Started Guide.
  20. Products or Add-ons are enabled by default based on your contract. Disable (deselect) add-ons you don’t want to activate now, such as Autonomous DEM and Service Connection.

    • URL Subnet is the URL to launch the corresponding service UI.
  21. Agree to the Terms and Conditions.
  22. Activate Now. The products and add-ons that you are activating (such as Prisma Access or Strata Logging Service) are now provisioned. As the subscriptions are activating, the progress status will display. When the process is complete, the tenant status displays as Up. You now have a tenant provisioned with instances of the products that you purchased. The tenant has one user — the Customer Support account that you used when you began this process.
  23. To complete the product setup, you must access the products you purchased and perform any required post-installation configuration. For information about your products, see:
