Palo Alto Networks Exam NetSec-Pro Topic 4 Question 8 Discussion

When migrating from a perpetual VM-Series firewall license to a flexible VM licensing model, two critical steps are needed:

Allocate same number of vCPUs -- This ensures that the VM-Series capacity remains consistent and avoids resource bottlenecks.

''When migrating perpetual VM-Series licenses to flexible VM licensing, allocate the same vCPU and memory resources to ensure equivalent performance.''

Limit to same security services -- Flexible licensing requires maintaining the same security services to preserve licensing compliance.

''Ensure that you allow only the same security services on the flexible VM instance as were licensed on the perpetual VM.''
