System Message License exceeded: to many IP addresses are in use? TZ-1

[telecotek1]

I have a 10 node license. What happens to the 11th user? Are they blocked from sending LAN/WAN traffic? How can I get around this? Was thinking that I would enter some IP’s to the Node License Exclusion list but Help says that IP’s on the Exclusion list will not be able to access the WAN interface. That works for some printers and things that don’t need to access the internet but that could become an administrative nightmare if a device on the exclusion list needs to download firmware or something.

You have answered your own question. If you are licensed for 10 nodes, and the 11th node tries to access the Internet, it will go no where.

You don't get around this, it's coded into the appliance to only allow 10 different addresses out through the WAN interface. To do more, you will have to purchase more licenses or another appliance that's capable of more than 10 licenses from the start.
