MetaDefender Transfer Guard License

MetaDefender Transfer Guard needs to be licensed to be fully operational. In this section we will show how to get a valid license file and how to apply it to your MetaDefender Transfer Guard system.

First thing is to check the Deployment ID. This ID can be found in Configuration -> License. Deployment ID needs to be copied as we will need it to get a valid license file.

Then browse to my.opswat.com and login with your user/password. Once correctly logged in, click on License Activation and fill in the following fields:

• Package: Select MetaDefender NetWall from the dropdown.
• License Key: Insert the License Key that your OPSWAT sales representative has provided you with.
• Deployment ID: Paste the Deployment ID you've copied in the previous step
• Optional description: In this optional field, a description for the license key can be included.

Once filled in click on Request Unlock Key button and then click on Download Unlock Key to get the license file.

Once you have the Unlock Key file, we need to come back to MetaDefender Transfer Guard UI to activate the key. Go to Configuration -> License and click on Activate.

Click on Select File and browse to the Activation Key we have stored in the previous step. Then click on Activate. Once Active, you will be able to see new information in the fields Product ID, Product Name and Expiration.

Deactivating MetaDefender Transfer Guard

Deactivation needs to be done in two steps:

1. The MetaDefender Transfer Guard needs to be deactivated from the GUI interface
2. The deployment needs to be deactivated from the Activation Key (This is done by OPSWAT Support Team)
