## Self-serve registration of Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance in the dashboard

You can now register a [Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/) and generate its license key directly from the dashboard, without contacting your account team.

- On the **Connectors** page, select **Add an appliance** and choose **Virtual appliance** to register a virtual appliance and generate its authentication key.
- Use **Regenerate authentication key** from a virtual appliance connector's menu to rotate its key. The previous key is immediately and irrevocably revoked.
- The authentication key is shown only once — copy and store it securely.

This complements the existing [API and Terraform self-serve workflow](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/configure-virtual-appliance/#register-a-virtual-appliance-and-generate-a-license-key) for provisioning virtual appliances. Hardware appliances continue to use the existing account-team fulfillment workflow.

For details, refer to [Configure a Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-wan/configuration/appliance/configure-virtual-appliance/).
