Managing Licenses

Before you begin adding PEPs and using the EncrypTight software, contact Customer Support to acquire your license key (see “Contacting Black Box Technical Support” on page 14). 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.

1In the Appliance Manager, choose Edit > License.

2In the License Manager, click Enter EncrypTight License.

3In the EncrypTight License box, type the license key, or copy and paste it.

To install a license on the ETEP:

1In the Appliance Manager, select the ETEPs on which you want to install licenses.

2Choose Tools > Put License.

You can also install the license on the ETEP when you push configurations by selecting the Put Throughput License option.
