As a Safeguard for Privileged Passwords user, if you get an "appliance is unlicensed" notification, contact your Appliance Administrator.
Hardware appliance
The One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords
You must install a valid license. Once the module is installed, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords shows a license state of Licensed and is operational. If the module license is not installed, you have limited functionality. That is, even though you will be able to configure access requests, if a SPP module license is not installed, you will not be able to request a password release.
Virtual appliance Microsoft Windows licensing
You must license the virtual appliance with a Microsoft Windows license. We recommend using either the MAK or KMS method. Specific questions about licensing should be directed to your Sales Representative. The virtual appliance will not function unless the operating system is properly licensed.
Licensing setup and update
To enter licensing information when you first log in
The first time you log in as the Appliance Administrator, you are prompted to add a license. The Success dialog displays when the license is added.
On the virtual appliance, the license is added as part of Initial Setup.
IMPORTANT: After successfully adding a license, the Software Transaction Agreement will be displayed and must be read and accepted in order to use Safeguard for Privileged Passwords.
To configure reminders for license expiration
To avoid disruptions in the use of Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, the Appliance Administrator must configure the SMTP server, and define email templates for the License Expired and the License Expiring Soon event types. This ensures you will be notified of an approaching expiration date.
Users are instructed to contact their Appliance Administrator if they get an "appliance is unlicensed" notification.
As an Appliance Administrator, if you receive a "license expiring" notification, apply a new license.
To update the licensing file
Safeguard licenses can be updated both on hardware and virtual machines, whereas OS licenses can be updated only on virtual machines.
