Frequently Aked Questions

How does licensing work?

You need to have a license matching the Firewall Type (TZ, NSV, NSA). This license allows unlimited access to this firewall. You can add multiple licenses to Firewall Toolbox.

How is licensing enforced?

During the Wizard, a quick license check will be done. If no license exists, you will be asked to add a license code. The license will be validated to the backend (cryptlex.com). During the upload of the config, further verifications will be done regarding license.

Can I test the software?

If no full license is registered, you can select “Trial” during the setup wizard for the first device. This will give you access to some reports, but not all, and the available reports will be shortened.

Why is the software priced the way it is?

While the initial cost may seem high compared to simple tools, the real value lies in the time it saves. Generating repeated audit reports takes only minutes instead of hours, which quickly offsets the investment. Many users find that the software pays for itself after just a few audits.

Does the software send my data to the cloud or the internet?

The software only communicates externally when necessary:

  • It uploads minimal information (a short identifier for your device) to Cryptlex for license management
  • It contacts Firewall Toolbox servers to check if a new version is available.
  • If you choose to use the MySonicWall API connection, some information is exchanged with MySonicWall as part of that integration.
  • Apart from these cases, all of your configuration data stays local on your system. Nothing else is uploaded or shared.
