CHAPTER 6
Licensing
6.1 Licensing Overview
Use the Licensing screens to register your Zyxel Device and manage its service subscriptions.
• Use the Licenses screen to refresh Zyxel Device registration. Go to nebula.zyxel.com to register your
Zyxel Device and activate a service, such as content filtering.
• Use the Signature Update screen to download the latest signatures for your licensed services.
Please note that you cannot use the security services and upgrade firmware if your Zyxel Device is not
registered at NCC or the services do not have a license. Your Zyxel Device and network will be exposed
to threats and attacks. We strongly recommend you to register your Zyxel Device and purchase a
license at NCC to better protect your Zyxel Device and network.
