Converting Your Trial Subscription to a Valid License

When you purchase a BCS or BCS Plus subscription, or purchase a Barracuda Email Protection plan, you receive an email with the serial # and a linking code. Use these to convert your trial subscription to a valid product license, or to activate your BCS account for your Email Protection plan.

To activate your subscription:

1. Log into the Barracuda Content Shield Activation Portal with your Barracuda user account credentials at https://www.bcs.barracudanetworks.com/activate.

2. Enter your serial number and linking code.

3. Click Activate.

This action links your new subscription serial number to your Barracuda Cloud Control account. If you need help with the above process, contact Barracuda Networks Support: https://www.barracuda.com/support

• If you have a BCS or BCS Plus subscription, continue with Barracuda Content Shield 30 Day Evaluation Guide, which gives you an overview of BCS features and initial setup and filtering guidelines.

• If you have Email Protection Premium or Email Protection Premium Plus, see Getting Started With DNS Filtering.
