  • 1.  PGP CLI - Key Management & Renewal on Solaris

    Posted Jan 14, 2014 03:08 AM

    Hi All,

     

    I'm planning to install PGP CLI on Solaris 11 server and need following information on Key Management & Renewal

     

    1) Is it possible to get Enterprise(Full Licensed-Never Expiring) PGP tool to be installed on Solaris server

    2) How can I renew a existing Public & Private pair Key after expiry(as i don't want to exchange public Key with interfaces during renewal)

    3) Do I need to generate a new private and public pair for every license renewal of PGP tool.

    Hi Santhosh,

    1) I am not aware about any Enterprise License - Never Expired so my answer would be NO but you can alwasy try to contact our Symantec Customer Care for more information:

    PGP Command Line supports the following licensing scenarios:
    - Using a License Number (on page 27). This is the normal method to
    license PGP Command Line. You must have your license number and a
    working connection to the Internet.
    - Using a License Authorization (on page 28). This licensing method uses
    licensing information in a file that was obtained from PGP Corporation. This
    method does not require a working connection to the Internet.
    Re-Licensing (on page 29). If you have already licensed PGP Command Line
    on a system but want to re-license it with a new license number (to support
    additional functionality, for example), use this method. You must have your
    new license number and a working connection to the Internet.
    - Through a Proxy Server (on page 30). If you connect to the Internet through
    a proxy server, use this method to license PGP Command Line. You must
    have your license number and the appropriate proxy server information.

    2) Please follow below KB article - I hope it helps:

    HOW TO: Update an expiration date for a key - PGP Command Line
    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO42027

    3) No - After a PGP Command Line subscription license expires, all functionality is immediately disabled. No Encryption/Signing or Decryption/Verifying is performed until a valid license number has been entered into the software.
