Entering licenses in policies (DMC)

If you have installed a DriveLock Enterprise Service (DES), you should transfer the license information directly to it. Certain server functions, for example downloading the Security Awareness Content AddOn, can only be activated if a valid license is present on the DES. You can configure the Licenses in the Global configuration node in the Settings subnode.

Click Change... to open the license dialog.

The General tab displays the license status of each module.

On the Licenses tab, you can add your license file or license key, or remove expired or trial licenses if necessary.

Follow the license activation steps in the wizard.

The DriveLock license can be activated either online or manually by calling the DriveLock Activation Center. For online activation, select Online . If you need to specify a proxy server for your Internet connection, click on Proxy and enter the server name, a user and the appropriate password.

The license is activated by connecting to the DriveLock activation server. This usually takes only a few seconds.

Instructions for telephone activation:

  1. To avoid discrepancies, please make sure that the computer you use for activation has a current time and the correct time zone.

  2. The activation code is valid only for a certain period of time. You must enter the activation code within one hour, otherwise you will have to request a new activation code. If this happens, click Cancel and start the Activation Wizard again.

After successful activation, we recommend transferring the licenses to DriveLock Enterprise Service. At this point, specify the server name where your DriveLock Enterprise Service is installed. If you do not specify a name, the transfer process will be skipped.

To view the contents of a license, highlight the desired license and click Properties... .

On the Modules tab you can configure which module should be active on which agents.

Based on this information you can...

  • avoid using a specific module on too many DriveLock agents (only active modules "consume" a license)

  • avoid initializing modules on an agent that are not needed there.

If you set modules to the value not configured, the settings from another policy are used. This means that you can configure different modules in different policies than just the policy where you enter the license.
