Forcepoint DLP license types (IP Protection and Compliance) cannot be mixed within the same Forcepoint DLP Deployment. All product licenses must be IP Protection or Compliance types. The only exception is for the DLP modules within Forcepoint Email Security and Forcepoint Web Security. In Forcepoint DLP v8.5.1 and later, these modules unlock the full IP Protection feature set.

Licensing options available as of version 8.6 support the following Forcepoint DLP components:

Forcepoint DLP Cloud Applications (license has start and termination dates)

Perpetual Forcepoint DLP Suite subscription combined with Forcepoint DLP Cloud Applications (license has start and termination dates for cloud applications)

The Settings > General > Subscription page of the Forcepoint Security Manager shows the terms of your subscription. See Entering a subscription key.

You can upgrade from a DLP Compliance product license type to an IP Protection license type, which will make available the additional IP Protection features by purchasing the relevant "IP Protection Upgrade" licenses. Please contact your Forcepoint reseller or Forcepoint sales account team to discuss an upgrade.

Entering subscription key

Data loss prevention over web or email channels is automatically included with the DLP Module for Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint Email Security. In these integrated deployments, the subscription key is entered in the Web Security or Email Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager, and not the Data Security module.

Providing web and email DLP through other means—such as the Forcepoint DLP protector—requires a Forcepoint DLP subscription. A Forcepoint DLP subscription is also needed to analyze images or protect DLP channels as well as web and email.

To enter the Forcepoint DLP subscription key:

Log on to the Security Manager.

If you have installed an add-on DLP component—such as Image Analysis or the endpoint agent—you are prompted to enter the subscription key.

Browse to the subscription file, then click Submit.

Your subscription terms are displayed, including the start and expiration dates (or "n/a" if you have a perpetual subscription), the number of subscribed users, and the modules and services to which you subscribe. You are automatically logged out of the Forcepoint DLP application and must log in again.


	Note The subscription dates apply only to the modules in the section and not to the CASB license. CASB dates are determined by the CASB license.

When you purchase an upgrade or change subscription type, update the Forcepoint DLP subscription file. If you do not, an error message displays when you try to use Forcepoint DLP.

To update your Forcepoint DLP subscription:

In the Security Manager, go to the Settings > General > Subscription page.

Your current subscription terms are displayed.

Click Update in the toolbar at the top of the content pane.

Browse to the new subscription file, then click OK.

You are automatically logged out of the Forcepoint DLP application and must log in again.
