Administrator Help | TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security | Version 8.0.x
Websense subscriptions are issued on a per-client (IP address) basis.
To activate your software, enter a valid subscription key (see Configuring your account information). This lets you:
*
Download the Master Database (see The Websense Master Database), enabling policy enforcement.
*
(TRITON AP-WEB only) Download the analytic databases to support real-time analysis of web content.
After the first successful database download, the Web module displays the number of clients your subscription includes and your subscription type (TRITON AP-WEB or Web Filter & Security).
A component called Websense Filtering Service maintains a subscription table of clients generating Internet requests each day. In TRITON AP-WEB deployments, there is no change in policy enforcement when the number of subscribed clients is exceeded, but if the subscription is consistently exceeded, you may be asked to increase your subscription limit. In Web Filter & Security deployments, when the number of subscribed clients is exceeded, requests from users who exceed the subscription count are permitted or blocked based on the setting Block users when subscription expires, found on the Settings > General > Account page in the Web module of the TRITON Manager.
In all deployments, when a subscription expires, all requests are permitted or blocked, depending on the same configurable setting. When the expiration date approaches, administrators are notified through a combination of email alerts and TRITON console health alerts.
*
To configure how Internet requests are handled when a subscription expires, see Configuring your account information.
*
To have an alert message sent when the subscription approaches or exceeds its limit, see Configuring system alerts.
