What Happens When WatchGuard Services Expire
Your Firebox relies on active subscriptions for advanced protection. When services expire, functionality is immediately impacted.
Immediate Impact
- Security scans, signature updates, and reputation checks stop immediately
- Firebox reverts to basic firewall-only functionality
- You lose visibility, AI-powered threat prevention, and cloud reporting
- Certain configurations become locked until renewal is activated
Expiration Timing
A subscription expires at 12:00 AM the day after your listed expiration date.
Example: A 04/07/2025 expiration becomes inactive at 12:00 AM on 04/08/2025.
⚠️ To maintain uninterrupted protection, renew your subscriptions before they expire.
