Manage
Licenses
and
Updates
You
can
use
Panorama
to
centrally
manage
licenses,
software
updates,
and
content
updates
on
firewalls
and
Dedicated
Log
Collectors
(M
‐
100
appliances
in
Log
Collector
mode).
When
you
deploy
licenses
or
updates,
Panorama
checks
in
with
the
Palo
Alto
Networks
licensing
server
or
update
server,
verifies
the
request
validity,
and
then
allows
retrieval
and
installation
of
the
license
or
update.
This
capability
facilitates
deployment
by
eliminating
the
need
to
repeat
the
same
tasks
on
each
firewall
or
Dedicated
Log
Collector.
It
is
particularly
useful
for
managing
firewalls
that
don’t
have
direct
Internet
access
or
for
managing
Dedicated
Log
Collectors,
which
don’t
have
a
web
interface.
You
must
activate
a
support
subscription
directly
on
each
firewall;
you
cannot
use
Panorama
to
deploy
support
subscriptions.
To
activate
licenses
or
install
updates
on
Panorama
itself,
