The HS-PCI module (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard High Security Module; add on to EFT Server to facilitate ongoing compliance with PCI DSS v1.1) requires a separate license from EFT Server. A 30-day trial is available, and can start any time after the start of the EFT Server trial.
When the trial is expired, unless you activate the module, the following features are unavailable:
Ability to create a new HS-PCI Site (In EFT Administrator, a Site is similar to a virtual FTP server bound to one or more IP addresses) with the Site Setup wizard
Warning prompts when settings are changed that would violate PCI DSS compliance
PCI DSS Compliance Report (the report is still available, but the output is altered)
Expiration of passwords
Removal of inactive accounts
Enforcement of complex passwords
Account lockout
Session timeout
GUI control for HTTP>HTTPS
Data wiping
If you activate the HS-PCI module after the trial has expired, the settings for EFT Server and any PCI DSS-specific configuration values are forced to reset (e.g., password histories are cleared and last successful login date cleared).
To activate the HS-PCI module
In EFT Administrator, click Help > Enter HS-PCI module serial number. The Online Registration dialog box appears.
Refer to Activating the Software for details.
