USG FLEX H Series - License Transfer Enhancement in Nebula Control Center

Zyxel_Claudia

The latest release in Nebula Control Center (NCC) introduces an enhanced license transfer feature for the USG FLEX H Series, offering greater flexibility and control for administrators managing subscriptions across multiple devices. This enhancement allows licenses to be transferred within device tiers, between different device models, and between the USG FLEX H Series tiers.

Key Features of License Transfer for the USG FLEX H Series Devices

1. Flexible License Transfer Across Models:
   • Gold Security Pack: Previously, Gold Security licenses could only be transferred between the exact same device models. Now, administrators can transfer the Gold Security Pack license within the same H-Series tier. For example, a Gold Security Pack license from a USG FLEX 100H could now be transferred to USG FLEX 100HP.
   • Entry Defense Pack: The Entry Defense Pack license can also now be transferred across the entire H-Series, making it easier to manage and optimize security coverage.
   • Nebula Pro Pack & Plus Pack: Licenses for Nebula Pro and Plus Packs can be transferred across different NCC managed products, such as from a USG FLEX 100H firewall to a compatible NCC managed Access Point. This cross-device transferability provides greater versatility for network expansion or hardware upgrades.
2. Enhanced Change Log for Transparency:
   • NCC’s Change Log now includes detailed tracking for license transfers, with entries for both “Transfer Out” and “Transfer In” events.
   • The logs help administrators keep track of which devices received a transferred license and the exact dates and source devices involved in each transfer.
   • If any transfer issues arise, the log will display detailed failure reasons, including device MAC address or licensing conflicts, aiding in troubleshooting.

Summary

The enhanced license transfer functionality within NCC provides the USG FLEX H Series administrators with greater flexibility, efficiency, and visibility. By centralizing license management and expanding transfer options, NCC supports a more adaptable, scalable network management experience.
