License Enforcement

License activity conforms to these conditions:

• You can add Endpoint Security licenses as required using one of these methods:

  • SmartUpdate (see Getting and Applying Contracts).

  • The Gaia Portal (see the R82 Gaia Administration GuideR81.20 Gaia Administration Guide).

  • The "cplic" CLI command (see the R82 CLI Reference GuideR81.20 CLI Reference Guide).

  • The "cpconfig" CLI command (see the R82 CLI Reference GuideR81.20 CLI Reference Guide)

• You can remove a client license by resetting the client or deleting the client using Endpoint Web Management Console. These licenses are returned to the license pool.

• Each client gets its Container and Endpoint Security component licenses from a pool of available licenses.

• If you have mixed licenses, for example Workspace Security Basic (formerly Harmony Basic) for Server and Workspace Security Advanced (formerly Harmony Advanced) on Laptops, then each client gets a random license from the pool mixed licenses available.

• You can combine licenses to reach the total number of required clients.

• License validation occurs when the client sends a SYNC or heartbeat messages to the server.

• When there is no container license, components registration is blocked.
