We have several USG 1000 devices.These devices are not quite keeping up with new broadband speeds. As I research replacements, I'm facing the licensing confusion. On our old equipment we had no licensing for IPSEC, L2TP tunnels orlicenses to use all the ports. We have no licensing on our USG 1000devices at all. I have no clue where Zyxel is going with licenses. If I bought a USG Flex 200 for example, what will work out the boxwith no registration or licenses? Is the device usable? Regards,BS

Hi @mm_bret When you enter the brand new device first time, here is an Initial Setup Wizard to guide you on how to complete your device setting. Especially, there is a Register Device procedure and you could click the Register button on this screen to register your device at portal.myzyxel.com. Then It will redirect to Myzyxel.com. then login with a Myzyxel account to proceed register procedure. Once it is completed, you can see the message Your device is already registered. Now you can activate all security services. Click Activate All to activate UTM services. Go back to Initial Setup Wizard, and click Refresh, we can see that Device Register status change to Registered. Click Next to continue Click Refresh to check Service License Status. Click Next to continue. As for the VAS (value-added services), I think it should be our Cloud Email Security service(MyZyxel> Cloud Services > Cloud Email Security). Thanks :) .
