A Data Retention license extends the Firebox data retention period in WatchGuard Cloud. You activate Data Retention licenses in the WatchGuard Support Center,˙Activate Products˙page. You can see the current Data Retention licenses associated with your account on the˙Data Retention Licenses˙page.

Each Data Retention license key is compatible with specific Firebox models. When you activate a Data Retention license key, you have several options for how to use your license. You can:

• Add a new Data Retention license
• Add data retention days to an existing license
• Extend the expiration date of an existing license

When you activate a Data Retention license, the license is added to your WatchGuard Cloud account. If you have a˙Service Provider˙account, the Data Retention license is added to your inventory in WatchGuard Cloud. From your inventory, you can allocate the license to a managed account or to your own account.˙
