EncrypTight User Guide 57
Before you begin adding PEPs and using the EncrypTight software, contact Customer Support to acquire
your license key (see “Contacting Black Box Technical Support” on page 14). You need to provide the
EncrypTight ID. To view the EncrypTight ID, choose Edit > License.
If you upgrade from a command line-only installation to a full EncrypTight deployment, you can no
longer use the command line-only license and must acquire an EncrypTight license.
You cannot install licenses on your ETEPs until you install a license for EncrypTight. The EncrypTight
license specifies the maximum number of ETEPs that can be managed in your deployment and the speeds
at which they are licensed to run. The license specifically controls how many ETEPs can be configured to
run at each throughput speed. For example, one EncrypTight deployment might run 10 ET0100As at 100
Mbps and an additional four ET0100As at 250 Mbps. When your needs change, you can easily upgrade
the EncrypTight software to support a larger number of ETEPs.
