Frequently asked questions
What happens if my license lapses? Security services stop updating and support ends, leaving the firewall running without current protection. Renew before the expiry date to avoid it.
Standard or Xstream Protection? Standard covers the base firewall with SD-WAN and ZTNA. Xstream adds the full threat stack, including TLS inspection and cloud sandboxing.
Can I switch to monthly billing? Yes. Ask Nuformat about monthly licensing and Hardware as a Service (HWaaS).
Do you need my serial number? Yes, your XGS serial number lets us match the renewal to your exact appliance.
