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.

Service What Happens When It Expires
Gateway AntiVirus / IntelligentAV Scanning and updates stop; antivirus disabled
IPS (Intrusion Prevention) Intrusion detection and blocking stop immediately
WebBlocker Web filtering stops; may block or allow all sites depending on policy
