This page provides the information on migrating perpetual license to term license.

Prerequisites:

• CipherTrust Manager is deployed and customer is using perpetual license for platform

• CipherTrust clients and connectors using perpetual license

Migration Steps:

Perform the following steps:

1. From Thales Galaxy License Portal, get the Term license. (The steps are same as getting any license from portal. You can either provide Key Manager Lock code for CipherTrust Manager license or provide Connector Lock code for Connector license).

2. Login to CipherTrust Manager as an admin and navigate to Admin Settings > Licensing.

3. Click Add license and upload either a license file or license text string. Click Add license.

4. Once the license is successfully uploaded, you will see the following changes:

   For Platform/Key Manager License

   1. For Platform, perpetual license will become Inactive and the newly uploaded term license's state becomes Active.

   2. Expiration Date will change and shows the date of term license expiration.

   For Connector/Client License

   1. The license page will show perpetual and term license status as Active.

   2. The total count of license will be number of perpetual license and term license.

   After successful migration of perpetual to term license for Connector/Client license, delete the perpetual license.

   Once the perpetual license is deleted, admin will see term license status as Active and total count of license will be same as term license.
