Administrator Help | Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway | Version 8.5.x
You should receive a subscription key when you purchase Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway.
If you did not enter the subscription key the first time you opened the Email Security module, enter it on the page Settings > General > Subscription. This subscription key can be entered in one appliance and is applied to all the appliances controlled by the Email Security module.
Enter a new key any time you receive one to update your subscription. If your subscription includes the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module, you must register with the email hybrid service every time you enter a new subscription key to establish the connection and synchronize email protection system functions. After you enter a valid subscription key, the expiration date and number of subscribed users are displayed. Purchased subscription features appear in the Subscribed Features list.
There are two different license modes: Forcepoint Email Security and Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway. Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway is an alternative to Forcepoint Email Security and provides capability to analyze inbound or outbound mail for data loss or theft. If you use Forcepoint DLP, you can add a subscription key to register Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway. It is not possible to deploy Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway concurrently with Forcepoint Email Security.
If you enter a new subscription key for a different license mode, the email protection system automatically reloads the configuration to provide access to the functionality available with the subscription. All menu options are available with a new installation of Forcepoint Email Security. If you register a new Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway license, the email protection system automatically updates to allow access to Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway menu options. See Forcepoint Email Security versus Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway for a comparison table of the menu options available in each product.
Add subscription key
1.
Navigate to the page Settings > General > Subscription.
2.
In the field Subscription key, enter the subscription key.
3.
Click OK.
If this is a changed subscription rather than a new installation, Forcepoint Email Security automatically reloads configuration. The dialog box Reload System Configuration displays with a countdown to the reload. After the system reloads, the menu options change according to the license mode.
A success message displays at the top of the Subscription page. The expiration date and number of subscribed users display below the subscription key. Purchased subscription features display in the Subscribed Features list.
When a subscription key is added for Forcepoint DLP Email Gateway, DLP policies are applied by default to inbound and outbound traffic. See Enabling data loss prevention policies.
4.
(Optional) Mark the check box Block incoming email connections when subscription expires.
Functionality blocks inbound email traffic when your subscription expires. Selecting this option also blocks inbound connections when your email protection system has not had a successful database download in two weeks. This function is disabled by default.
A valid subscription includes a grace period of two weeks in which to renew your product licenses after the subscription expires. Alerts are sent daily during the grace period as a reminder that the subscription has expired.
5.
(If your subscription key includes Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module) Navigate to the page Settings > Hybrid Service > Hybrid Configuration.
Register with the email hybrid service to establish the connection and synchronize email protection system functions. See the topic titled Registering the Email Security Hybrid Module in Forcepoint Email Security Administrator Help.
