After the 30-day trial has expired, you must activate DMZ Gateway by activating the serial number in EFT Server.
To activate online, you must be connected to the Internet, and registration must be performed through the EFT Server administration interface on the EFT Server computer. You cannot activate through a remote installation. Refer to Activating EFT Server and Modules for details.
When both EFT Server and DMZ Gateway are in trial mode, all DMZ Gateway features are enabled.
If the EFT Server trial period expires (has not been activated) and the DMZ Gateway module has not been activated, EFT Server will:
Halt all outbound Peer Notification Channel (PNC) communication to the DMZ Gateway.
Disable all controls on EFT Server's DMZ Gateway configuration pages.
Disable the “use DMZ Gateway as proxy” control in the Event Rule offload/download proxy configuration dialog box, which will cause any Event Rule to fail that uses DMZ Gateway as an outbound proxy.
Hide the Perimeter Network Security page of the Site Setup wizard in EFT Server.
Write a warning to the Windows Event Log: “EFT Server’s DMZ Gateway module evaluation period has expired.”
If EFT Server is activated, but DMZ Gateway is in trial mode, the DMZ Gateway is fully functional until the DMZ Gateway trial expires. Once DMZ Gateway expires, all functionality and controls in EFT Server are disabled (unless you activate DMZ Gateway).
If DMZ Gateway is activated using a single site serial number:
EFT Server allows only one DMZ Gateway site to be enabled.
If more than one DMZ Gateway node was enabled prior to activation, all but one node will be disabled, the PNC of each of the disabled sites is disconnected, and an error is written to the Windows Event Log: "EFT Server – One or more DMZ Gateway connections were disabled due to licensing restrictions. Make sure your DMZ Gateway module license matches the number of DMZ Gateway ‘Sites’ enabled. Contact your GlobalSCAPE account representative for further assistance.”
EFT Server's COM engine will return an error if you attempt to start a DMZ Gateway when one is already enabled.
If DMZ Gateway is activated using a multiple site serial number:
EFT Server allows up to 15 DMZ Gateways to be enabled (one per EFT Server Site).
