If authorized CALs exceed 5% of that specific CAL total, new client activations for that specific product will
be blocked until the license key is brought into compliance. No other client or Security Management Server
functions will be impacted when a license key is in the over 105% state. Two separate warning messages are
displayed, the first warning message is when the CAL reaches 99% of the authorized licenses, the second
when the CAL count reaches or exceeds the 105% total.
For example:
• Authorized CAL for Dell Encryption (Windows): 5000 user licenses
• First warning message from Security Management Server and an email message is sent to the admin:
CAL count reaches 5000
• Second warning message from Security Management Server and an email message is sent to the
admin: CAL count reaches 5250
If a client has previously been activated and inventory records exist, then it will not be blocked from any re-
activation. However, if the CAL authorized count is exceeded during this process, new activations will be
blocked for the specific CAL that is in the over 105% state.
