Question

We currently use the FW-40f firewall in some branches. Its licenses expire on April 5, 2026, and we need to review the licenses to renew them or replace it with a newer firewall, such as the FW-50G.

 

Please provide your suggestions on this matter.

There is no need to change firewall models, if you are happy with the FWF-40F at the moment.

 

t is possible to extend the license for a year (or longer (last time you can buy extensions is May 2030) and then decide year by year.

 

You can always change FWs models if you want to at a later point.-

 

that is just a suggestion
