HSM Updates and Upgrades

Thales releases periodic updates to the Luna Network HSM appliance software and the HSM firmware, as well as updated versions of the Luna HSM Client software. If you have recently purchased a new Luna Network HSM and your organization requires FIPS certification, you can download and install a FIPS-validated version of the HSM firmware. You can download these updates as they become available from the Thales Customer Support Portal: https://supportportal.thalesgroup.com.

Depending on the model of Luna Network HSM you selected at time of purchase, you may also be able to purchase upgrades to the HSM's capabilities, or increase the number of partitions you can create. These upgrades are provided through the Thales Licensing Portal (GLP).
