SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
SonicWALL’s Distributed Enforcement Architecture (DEA) technology enables the policy
enforcement capabilities that provide the framework for the Global Security Client’s complete
security solution for all remote and network desktops. SonicWALL’s DEA technology enables
the automatic installation of new software components, changes the configuration of different
components, verifies version information, forces updates of components, informs the user
which components do not meet the policy requirements, and provides user authentication for
policy enforcement.
Global Security Client Licensing
The SonicWALL Global Security Client allows you to install the Global VPN Client Enterprise
and Distributed Security Client. SonicWALL Global VPN Client Enterprise is licensed on a per
connection basis. That means a 5 pack of Global Security Client gives the customer 5
concurrent Global VPN Client Enterprise connections on the SonicWALL. SonicWALL
Distributed Security Client licensing is licensed on a per client basis. A 5 pack of Global Security
Client allows you to install Distributed Security Client on 5 computers. The Distributed Security
Client license is for subscription.
If you do not have SonicWALL Global Security Client activated on your SonicWALL, you must
purchase Global Security Client from a SonicWALL reseller or your mySonicWALL.com
account (limited to customers in the USA and Canada only).
