WatchGuard offers several Cloud services that are licensed per user or endpoint. License bundles are a convenient way to purchase user licenses for multiple subscription security services in a single bundle.
WatchGuard offers these license bundles:
Zero-Trust
Zero-Trust includes licenses for AuthPoint, FireCloud, and WatchGuard Endpoint Protection Defense and Response (EPDR). Managed Zero-Trust also includes Total MDR.
Passport
Passport includes licenses for AuthPoint, DNSWatchGO, and Panda Adaptive Defense 360 or WatchGuard Endpoint Protection Defense and Response (EPDR).
When you purchase a Passport license, you choose whether you want the Passport bundle to include endpoint licenses for Panda Adaptive Defense 360 or WatchGuard EPDR. You can only choose one of the two products. The difference between these two products is where you manage them.
- WatchGuard EPDR — If you choose WatchGuard EPDR, you manage your license, endpoints, and operators in WatchGuard Cloud.
- Panda Adaptive Defense 360 — If you choose Panda Adaptive Defense 360, you manage your licenses, computers and users in the Panda platform. If you are a partner, licenses will be managed from Partner Center.
WatchGuard EDR Core is included in the Firebox Total Security Suite. It is available for a limited number of endpoints, based on the Firebox model. With a Total Security Suite subscription license, you will see an EDR Core license in WatchGuard Cloud. You can use WatchGuard Cloud to manage EDR Core endpoint allocation and to access the Endpoint Security management UI. For information on EDR Core features, go to WatchGuard EDR Core Features.
License Bundle Activation Options
When you activate a Passport or Zero-Trust license, it automatically activates the individual product licenses included in the bundle. If you already have an active license for one of the bundled products, you have several options when you activate your new bundled license. Within the activation process, you can:
- Add users to a license
- Extend a license
- Add a new license (Service Providers only)
If you choose to add users or extend a license, a new expiration date for the combined license is calculated based on the updated user count and term length of the license you activated.
For example, if you have an active AuthPoint license for 50 users that expires in 30 days and you activate a 1 year Zero-Trust license for 100 users:
- If you choose to extend the existing license, after activation you have:
- An AuthPoint license for 100 users that expires in 380 days
- A FireCloud license for 100 users that expires in 365 days
- A WatchGuard Endpoint Protection Defense and Response for 100 endpoints that expires in 365 days
- If you choose to add users to the existing license, after activation you have:
- An AuthPoint license for 150 users that expires in 254 days
- A FireCloud license for 100 users that expires in 365 days
- A WatchGuard Endpoint Protection Defense and Response for 100 endpoints that expires in 365 days
Manage Licenses
You can activate and manage product licenses on the WatchGuard website in the Support Center. From Support Center, on the Manage Products page, you can view the activated licenses for your account. For more information on how to manage licenses in the WatchGuard website, go to Manage Devices and Licenses at WatchGuard.com.
After activation, the only indication that a product was activated as part of a Passport or Zero-Trust license key is the WGZT or WGPSP prefix that appears when you view the license for that product on the Manage Products page.
To learn how to activate a license, go to Activate a Zero-Trust License Bundle or Activate a DNSWatchGO or Passport License.
