Managing Licenses

EncrypTight User Guide

57

Before you begin adding PEPs and using the EncrypTight software, contact Customer Support to acquire 
your license key (see 

). You need to provide the 

EncrypTight ID. To view the EncrypTight ID, choose Edit > License.

If you upgrade from a command line-only installation to a full EncrypTight deployment, you can no 
longer use the command line-only license and must acquire an EncrypTight license.

You cannot install licenses on your ETEPs until you install a license for EncrypTight. The EncrypTight 
license specifies the maximum number of ETEPs that can be managed in your deployment and the speeds 
at which they are licensed to run. The license specifically controls how many ETEPs can be configured to 
run at each throughput speed. For example, one EncrypTight deployment might run 10 ET0100As at 100 
Mbps and an additional four ET0100As at 250 Mbps. When your needs change, you can easily upgrade 
the EncrypTight software to support a larger number of ETEPs.
