    hi

    my partner asked if he can encrypt whole vmdk file,

    or files inside it?

    is it possible with file/folder encryption?

    thanks

    You should be able to encrypt the entire image by installing the Encrpytion Desktop software onto the VM guest and setting it to encrypt the "local" disks.

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH149543

    "Note: Beginning with version 10 of Symantec Encryption Desktop (formerly known as PGP Desktop), Drive Encryption is supported on server hardware including the following: Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit and 64-bit editions), Windows Server 2008 SP1 & SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), and VMWare ESXi4 (supported Microsoft Windows Servers operating in a virtual environment) Drive Encryption is supported on systems with internal hardware RAID-1 and RAID-5. Software RAID is not supported."

    thank you,

    so license should be for each VM

    if we have 3 virtual machines,

    we should buy 3 licenses of encryption whole drive encryption

    if we want to encrypt files on this VM - is it possible?
