Firewall Toolbox Licensing Options

The right license for your requirements

Whether you need a one-time security assessment, regular firewall audits, or comprehensive firewall administration, Firewall Toolbox offers three licensing options to meet your requirements.

All editions allow you to analyze SonicWall configurations and generate comprehensive security, configuration, and documentation reports.

Your firewall data stays with you: All configuration data is processed locally on your computer. No configuration data needs to be uploaded to or processed in the cloud.

Standard One-Time – Import Once, Analyze as Often as You Like

Ideal for one-time audits, security assessments, and configuration reviews.

The Standard One-Time Edition allows you to import a SonicWall firewall configuration once. After importing the configuration, you can analyze the data as often as needed and generate an unlimited number of reports.

Configuration data can be imported from existing TSR/EXP files or retrieved directly from the firewall using the SonicWall API.

Once imported, the configuration remains available for further analysis and reporting, even without an active connection to the firewall.

Key Benefits:

  • One-time import of a firewall configuration
  • Unlimited analyses and reports based on the imported configuration
  • Import existing TSR/EXP files without connecting to the firewall
  • Alternatively, retrieve configuration data directly through the SonicWall API
  • Comprehensive security, configuration, and documentation reports
  • No API-based modifications to the firewall
  • Best suited for: External security audits, one-time security assessments, configuration reviews, and documentation of existing firewall environments.

Important: The single import allowance is consumed after a successful configuration import. You can continue analyzing the imported configuration and generating reports without limitations. Importing another configuration requires a new license.

Standard – Regular Analysis and Documentation

Ideal for businesses, IT administrators, and service providers who need to review their firewalls regularly.

The Standard Edition allows repeated imports and analyses of SonicWall firewall configurations.

Configuration data can be imported at any time from existing TSR/EXP files or retrieved directly through the SonicWall API.

This makes the Standard Edition particularly suitable for regular security assessments, configuration reviews, and maintaining up-to-date firewall documentation.

Key Benefits:

  • Repeated imports and analyses of firewall configurations
  • Import through TSR/EXP files or the SonicWall API
  • Unlimited analyses and report generation
  • Comprehensive security, configuration, and documentation reports
  • All configuration data processed locally
  • No API-based modifications to the firewall
  • Best suited for: Regular firewall audits, compliance assessments, configuration documentation, and ongoing security reviews.

Professional – Analysis and Administration in One Solution

Ideal for firewall administrators, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and IT service providers.

The Professional Edition includes all analysis and reporting capabilities of the Standard Edition and adds advanced API-based administration features.

This allows you not only to identify and document configuration issues but also to perform selected administrative actions directly from Firewall Toolbox.

These include, for example, disabling or deleting selected firewall access rules and NAT policies, along with other supported configuration cleanup and optimization tasks.

Key Benefits:

  • All features of the Standard Edition
  • Repeated imports and analyses of firewall configurations
  • Unlimited analyses and report generation
  • Additional API-based administration capabilities
  • Targeted disabling and deletion of supported firewall rules and objects
  • Support for configuration cleanup and optimization
  • Local processing of configuration data

Best suited for: Firewall administrators, Managed Service Providers, and IT service providers who regularly analyze and manage SonicWall environments.
