8.2 Signature Update
This section shows you how to update the signature packages of ZyWALL VPN and USG devices.
• Use the Configuration > Licensing > Signature Update > Anti-virus screen (Section 8.2.2 on page 269)
to update the anti-virus signatures.
• Use the Configuration > Licensing > Signature Update > IDP/AppPatrol screen (Section 8.2.3 on page

8.2.1 What you Need to Know
• You need a valid service registration to update the anti-virus signatures and the IDP/AppPatrol
signatures.
• You do not need a service registration to update the system-protection signatures.
• Schedule signature updates for a day and time when your network is least busy to minimize disruption
to your network.

Note: The Zyxel Device does not have to reboot when you upload new signatures.
