Enabling and Registering HSM

The HSM software is an optional module that is included on the Backup server distribution media. To enable the HSM software, you must enter an enabler code into your Backup server. Refer to the Solstice Backup Installation and Release Notes for details on evaluating HSM with your existing Backup server software for 30 days.

When you purchase the HSM module, you receive an Enabler Certificate with an enabler code to enable the HSM functionality. Enabling and registering the software is a three-part process involving these steps:

1. Follow the directions listed in "Enabler Code Entry " to enter the enabler code into your Backup server.

2. Register the HSM software with SunSoft. You have 45 days to register the software with SunSoft before the software times out. After SunSoft receives your registration form, you will be sent a permanent authorization code for the HSM software.

3. Enter the authorization code into your Backup server. This code permanently enables the HSM software. See "How to Register and Authorize Your Software " for instructions to enter the authorization code on your server.

When HSM is enabled on a Backup server, all the clients of that Backup server can be configured as migration clients.
