No. SonicWall GMS reached its Last Day Order on October 1, 2025. New licenses, node upgrades, and renewals are no longer available for purchase through any channel. SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) is the official replacement and is fully available.

SonicWall Network Security Manager (NSM) is the direct replacement for GMS. NSM provides centralized firewall management, zero-touch deployment, real-time monitoring, compliance reporting, and AI-driven insights for the full SonicWall firewall estate. It is available as a cloud SaaS service or as an on-premises virtual appliance running on VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM, or Azure.

SonicWall has not announced a specific end-of-support date for GMS software already in production. However, with no new licenses or renewals available, organizations should plan their migration to NSM. The longer GMS runs without a support contract, the greater the risk of running unpatched management software. Contact our team for a migration assessment.

GMS was node-based, requiring a separate license per managed appliance. NSM SaaS includes basic management at no additional cost for firewalls with active support subscriptions. Paid NSM tiers (Essential and Advanced) add extended reporting periods and log analytics. NSM on-premises uses a node-based license model similar to GMS, starting at a five-node base with add-on packs.

NSM supports SonicWall Gen 6 firewalls running SonicOS 6.5.x or higher, and all Gen 7 devices running SonicOSX 7.0 or higher. Supported platforms include the NSsp, NSa, TZ, and SOHO series. NSM currently manages firewalls and the switches and access points connected to them; it does not manage SonicWall email security appliances.
