Administrator Guide

Use the Administrative Download Utility in Admin
Mode
The Security Management Server Virtual does not use the Key Server, so Admin mode cannot be used to obtain a key bundle from a
Security Management Server Virtual. Use Forensic mode to obtain the key bundle if the client is activated against a Security Management
Server Virtual.
