8. Re-Licensing IDENTIKEY Appliance
8.1. Overview
A license file is required to make IDENTIKEY Appliance fully operational. Licensing is the process of identifying an
issued instance of IDENTIKEY Appliance to VASCO for the issue of a license file. For information on first-time licens-
ing of IDENTIKEY Appliance, refer to Section
5.4. Licensing Wizard . Re-licensing IDENTIKEY Appliance is required in
the following cases:
n
When upgrading from an evaluation license to a commercial license (see 8.4.2. Upgrading an Evaluation
License to a Commercial License ).
n
When a new license option or new license type (other than an upgrade from an evaluation license ) is pur-
chased (see
8.4.3. Upgrading a Commercial License to Add New License Options ).
n
With an upgrade to a higher major version of IDENTIKEY Appliance (see 8.4.4. Upgrading a Major Software
Version ).
n
With a change in IP address (see 8.4.1. Changing the IP Address or Restoring a Backup to an IDENTIKEY
Appliance ).
n
When a back-up is restored to a different IDENTIKEY Appliance, for example when replacing an instance of
IDENTIKEY Appliance (see
8.4.1. Changing the IP Address or Restoring a Backup to an IDENTIKEY Appli-
ance ).
n
When IDENTIKEY Appliance has been restored to factory default to remove all data and clean the appli-
ance (see
8.4.5. Restoring to Factory Default ).
For more information about license types and re-licensing, and the fields which need to be completed, refer to the
IDENTIKEY Appliance Product Guide , Section "Licensing".
Note
The Current License screen (see
8.3. Current License Screen ) is only displayed if a license has already been
uploaded and is operational. Under certain conditions, time restrictions are imposed on licenses - once the time
has elapsed services are stopped and only administration is possible, as for example:
n
an evaluation license is valid for a limited time of 45 days.
n
a grace period of 30 days is imposed, for example when replacing IDENTIKEY Appliance (see 11.1.
Installing and Licensing a Replacement IDENTIKEY Appliance ).
