CCKM Licensing Model
This section describes CCKM licensing models and how to activate them.
CCKM is offered through the following licensing models:
Trialware
Provides the fully-functional CCKM solution for 90 days with pre-installed trial license. After the trial period expires, CCKM configurations on the CipherTrust Manager become read-only.
Time-limited Rental
Provides the fully-functional CCKM solution for a prepaid charge for a specific period of time, for a specific number of cloud units.
This license comes with a grace period of 90 days. After the license period expires, the grace period starts. During the grace period, CCKM continues working normally. However, after the grace period is over, CCKM configurations on the CipherTrust Manager become read-only.
The CipherTrust Manager GUI starts showing a notification about the remaining license time. The license renewal can be ordered before the license expires.
Note
The number of AWS accounts that can be added to the CipherTrust Manager is limited by the number of licenses purchased.
For example, if a 1-year license is purchased for 10 cloud units, then only 10 AWS accounts can be added to the CipherTrust Manager.
Activating CCKM Licenses
Activating a CCKM license requires a license string for the CipherTrust Manager to which the AWS accounts will be added. This string is generated when a license is activated. You can find the details about your EID and available licenses on the License Portal.
Refer to Activating a Connector License for details.
After the CCKM license is activated, its state becomes Active on the Features tab of the Licensing page of the CipherTrust Manager GUI. The license is displayed with the feature name CCKM.
