File Encryption Demo License Exceeded blocking Enterprise 8.0 to assign new certs.

sabdul

I recently upgraded our Enterprise version to 8.0 and now it seems like every time we install a new safeguard install, it installs File Encryption component with the install and it's make our File Encryption license count go up. We had 5 demo File Encryption licenses but now the count reached to 7. It's causing problems. It's not assigning any new certs to new installs. I have a warning at the bottom of the Licenses tab which reads "Your license is exceeded. SGN server will no longer distribute policies to your clients". Is there a fix for this?

 

Thank you

-Sam

    I found the problem. With Client version 8.0, standard install is installing Synchronized Encryption which uses "File Encryption" license. This is a very stupid way of prompting a product. This caused a huge problem. This caused us to exceed our File encryption license which then stopped assigning new certs to new safeguard installs. I had to track down all the machines which got 8.0 installed and uninstall Synchronized Encryption part which brought the license count down. In case anyone else needs this.

    Hi ICTUCNES

     

    This is by design.  If you do not wish to install this component you will need to perform a custom install and deselect it or install via the command line.

    Example command line switches can be seen in the following article.  http://sophos.com/kb/108426

    This is really annoying, I am now going to have to revisit a number of systems that this has been pushed out on.

    I found your answer.


    Run this in query and you'll find all the machines that have these licenses installed

    /* Selecting all machines that have SafeGuard Enterprise Synchronized Encryption installed */

    use SafeGuard
    SELECT
    SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_name as 'Machine name',
    IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_FEATURE as 'Feature Installed',
    convert (VARCHAR,IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_MODIFY_DATE,3) as 'Last modified'
    FROM IVT_INST_FEATURES INNER JOIN
    SAFE_GUARD_DIR ON IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_MACHINE_ID = SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_ID where IVT_INST_FEATURES.IIF_FEATURE like 'NextGen%'
    order by SAFE_GUARD_DIR.SGD_name
