License Management
You can install additional Connector licenses to increase the number of Total Clients/Total Cloud Units on a CipherTrust Manager appliance to register more Connectors or add more CCKM cloud entities.
For example, you have purchased 100 CipherTrust Transparent Encryption Connectors. You decide that you need one CTE license on a particular CipherTrust Manager appliance. You can activate one CTE license on your CipherTrust Manager by setting the quantity to 1 and uploading the license string. Refer to Activating a Connector License.
The License Portal keeps track of the remaining number of licenses. When you upload the license string to your CipherTrust Manager, you can register one CTE Connector with your CipherTrust Manager.
Later on, you may decide that you need more CTE clients on this CipherTrust Manager. Log on to the License Portal and activate more licenses. After you have uploaded the license string to the CipherTrust Manager, additional client licenses are available on the GUI.
Similarly, more licenses can be activated and added to the CipherTrust Manager cluster. Refer to Activating a CipherTrust Manager License.
Seek assistance from Thales Customer Support to:
Revoke a license
Remove/replace one licensed node from a CipherTrust Manager cluster
For any EMS portal error such as:
This entitlement belongs to another customer. You are not authorized to use this entitlement.For any errors when uploading a license to the CipherTrust Manager appliance.
For example, if you use the Connector Lock Code instead of the Key Manager Lock Code to activate a CipherTrust Manager license, you see an error while uploading the license string to the CipherTrust Manager appliance.
