12.2 Licensing
12.2.1 Overview
Your ESA license has three parameters:
User Total
Expiry Date
SMS Credits
The details of the license are obtained from the ESET Licensing system, and the ESA system automatically checks for license
validity.
The ESA Provisioning server may perform license enforcement by limiting SMS OTPs and user provisioning. In addition, the ESA
authentication server performs license enforcement by limiting user management actions and (in extreme cases) disabling user
authentication.
12.2.2 Warnings
Warnings are communicated to the ESA Administrator in the User Management plugin in the ADUC console and in the ESA
Management Console.
During User Management
When the license is not in the normal state, a warning message will be displayed in the ADUC (user management) interface. This
warning indicates the severity of the problem, but not the details, due to limited space.
During System Administration
The full license state is displayed in the system management interface. This will include the overall state of the license as well as
the details of usage (user numbers, remaining SMS credits, remaining license days).
12.2.3 License States
The license of an ESA server can be in one of the following six possible states:
1. OK: all license parameters are within the prescribed limits
2. Warning: At least one license parameter is close to the allowed limit
3. SMS Credits Expired: SMS credits have run out and no OTP or Provisioning SMSes will be sent.
4. Violation (full functionality): One of the licensed parameters has exceeded allowed limits, but no enforcement is imposed
5. Violation (limited functionality): A license parameter has been exceeded for more than 7 days, certain user management
functions are disabled
6. ESA Disabled: The ESA license expiry date has passed more than 30 days ago and authentication is disabled. In this case all
authentication calls will fail, will lock out all authentication until ESA is uninstalled, disabled by the admin or re-licensed.
