View License

You can view and update the details of your current Secure Email Gateway license from System > Version & License > View License. You can also request a license validation for an updated license.

Normally, your license is automatically validated on a daily basis. As part of this process, it sends a set of validation request data and usage statistics to Fortra.

 

License updates are managed by the Update Server.

You should only need to edit your license details manually if you change your license type (for example, from an Evaluation license to a Full license), or under specific instructions from Fortra.

Modify your license details

  1. Navigate to System > Version & License > View License. The View License page is displayed.

    At the top of the page, whether your license is valid or not is indicated. If not valid, a license warning is displayed.

  2. The License Details panel displays the details of your current license, including the license type and current expiry date. Click Click here to change these settings and edit your license details.

  3. Click Save.

  4. Validate your license. When the validation has been completed, apply the configuration. See the next section for more information.

Validate your license

After modifying the license details, you need to validate the license details manually.

  1. On the View License page, click Validate my license now in the task panel.

    Your license is validated by the Secure License Server. Assuming your license details are valid, it is indicated at top of the page.

  2. Apply the configuration to fully activate the license.

Call-home Settings

  1. Navigate to System > Version & License > View License. The View License page is displayed.

    At the top of the page, whether your license is valid or not is indicated. If not valid, a license warning is displayed.

  2. In the Call-home Settings panel, click Click here to change these settings.

    Select or clear the When validating a license restrict the validation request data check box. See License validation request data for more information.

If you change any configuration or policy settings, you must Apply Configuration for the new settings to take effect. You can do this either from the Changes Made panel, or System > Configuration > Apply Configuration. See Apply new configuration for more information.

If you use Peer Gateways (i.e. when multiple Gateways are peered), any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time. See Peer Gateways for more information.
