Migrate Panorama to a Software NGFW License
Migrate a single Panorama, or an HA pair from fixed VM-ELA
or a perpetual virtual Panorama licensing to a Software Next Generation
Firewall license.
You can migrate VM-ELA or perpetual virtual
Panorama licensing to Software Next Generation Firewall (Software
NGFW) licensing.
Migrate a Panorama with Access to the CSP
Complete the following procedure to migrate
your VM-ELA or perpetual virtual Panorama license to a Software
NGFW license. This migration allows you to move your existing Panorama
devices to the Software NGFW license without disruption while retaining
your existing serial number. Because your serial number does not change,
your logs and existing policies are retained.
- Select ProductsAssetsSoftware NGFW Credits and click the Details link on the credit pool you used to create your profile.
- On the far right, select the vertical ellipsis (More
Options) and select Provision Panorama and
then click Migrate Existing.The CSP displays all virtual Panorama devices associated with your account.
- Select the check box for each virtual Panorama to be migrated.
- Click Migrate.Verify that the Current Support Expiration Date has been updated. Additionally, you can expand each row to view the individual licenses applied to the selected Panorama.
Migrate a Panorama HA Pair that Can Access the CSP
Complete the following procedure to migrate
an HA pair with VM-ELA or perpetual licenses to a Software NGFW
licensing. This migration allows you to move your existing Panorama
devices to the Software NGFW license without disruption while retaining
your existing serial number. Because your serial numbers do not
change, your logs and the existing policies are retained.
- Select ProductsAssetsSoftware NGFW Credits and click the Details link on the credit pool you used to create your profile.
- On the far right, select the vertical ellipsis (More
Options) and select Provision Panorama and
then click Migrate Existing.The CSP displays all virtual Panorama devices associated with your account.
- Check the box for each virtual Panorama to be migrated.
- Select Migrate.Verify that the Current Support Expiration Date has been updated. Additionally, you can expand each row to view the individual licenses applied to the selected Panorama.
Migrate a Standalone Panorama that Cannot Access the CSP to a Flexible License
Complete the following procedure to migrate
your VM-ELA or perpetual virtual Panorama license to a Software
NGFW license even though your Panorama cannot access the CSP. Migration
without the CSP requires a serial number change, but it allows your
Panorama devices to migrate to Software NGFW licenses and retain
your existing policies.
The minimum version for Panorama
support is 8.1. If you must upgrade PAN-OS, do it before you start
the migration process. If you want to manage firewalls that are
using flexible vCPUs and advanced services, the PAN-OS version must be
10.0.4 or later.
- On your Panorama, upgrade if necessary, and note the serial number and the current support expiration date.
- In the CSP, select ProductsAssetsSoftware NGFW Credits and click the Details link on a credit pool. Select a deployment profile, or create one.
- On the far right, select the vertical ellipsis (More
Options) and select Provision Panorama and
select Migrate Existing.The CSP displays all virtual Panorama devices associated with your account.
- Check each virtual Panorama to be migrated and select Migrate.
- On Panorama, replace the serial number with the serial number from the Panorama you provisioned in the CSP. Wait one minute, then refresh the page.
- In the CSP select your provisioned Panorama and download
all licenses (the support license, the management license, and Panorama
as a log manager if your deployment profile includes it.Securely pass the licenses to your Panorama.
- Upload all Software NGFW licenses.
- Verify that the Current Support Expiration Date has been updated. Additionally, you can expand each row to view the support license and/or logging license applied to the selected Panorama.
Migrate An HA Pair that Cannot Access the CSP to a Flexible License
- Select ProductsAssetsSoftware NGFW Credits and click the Details button on the a credit pool.
- On the far right, select the vertical ellipsis (More
Options) and select Provision Panorama.The CSP displays all virtual Panorama devices associated with the current support account.
- Select Provision New, and check
the box for each virtual Panorama to be migrated and select Migrate. The migrated Panoramas are displayed as Software NGFW Devices.
- Verify that the Current Support Expiration Date has been updated. Additionally, you can expand each line to view the individual licenses applied to the selected Panorama.
