Installing vShield Edge, vShield App,

vShield Endpoint, and vShield Data

Security 4

After the vShield Manager is installed, you can obtain licenses to activate the vShield App, vShield

Endpoint, vShield Edge, and vShield Data Security components. The vShield Manager OVA package

includes the drivers and files required to install these add-on components. A vShield App license allows you

to use the vShield Endpoint component as well.

vShield virtual appliances include VMware Tools. Do not attempt to alter or upgrade the VMware Tools

software on a vShield virtual appliance.

Running vShield Licensed Components in Evaluation Mode

Before purchasing and activating licenses for vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint, you can

install and run evaluation modes of the software. When run in evaluation mode, intended for demonstration

and evaluation purposes, your vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint are completely operational

immediately after installation, do not require any licensing configuration, and provide full functionality for

60 days from the time you first activate them.

When run in evaluation mode, vShield components can support a maximum allowed number of instances.

After the 60-day trial period expires, unless you obtain licenses for your software, you cannot use vShield.

For example, you cannot power on vShield App or vShield Edge virtual appliances or protect your virtual

machines.

To continue using the vShield App and vShield Edge functionality without interruptions or to restore the

features that become unavailable after the 60-day trial, you need to obtain and install license files that

activate the features appropriate for the vShield component you purchased.
