License management

Overview

GravityZone is offered under two primary licensing models designed to meet different business requirements:

  • Yearly licensing - This option allows the purchase of products through individual license keys. There are two types of yearly licenses: a main license that can be used independently, and add-on licenses that unlock additional features but require a main license to be active.

  • Monthly subscriptions - With this option, the license is purchased by a Partner company from a Distributor company, and shares it with other companies. Distributors sell directly to Partners. Partners are the ones who enable license entitlements (seats and technologies) to Customer companies, and also provide security installation, configuration, management, and monitoring services.

GravityZone license keys can be managed from the My Company > License page in Control Center. When your current license key is about to expire, a message will appear in the console informing you that it needs to be renewed. To enter a new license key or view the current license details, go to the License page.

Trials

You can choose to test GravityZone and decide if it is the right solution for your organization. To activate your evaluation period, you must enter the evaluation license keys from the registration email in Control Center.

The trial grants access to various on-premises solutions, such as Antimalware, Local Scan, and Advanced Threat Control, ensuring comprehensive protection for Windows, Linux, and macOS environments.

To continue using GravityZone after the trial period expires, you must purchase a license key and use it to register the product.

Entering your license keys

GravityZone license registration can be done online or offline (when internet connection is not available). In both cases, you need to provide a valid license key for each security service you want to use.

For offline registration, you will also need the offline registration code associated to the license key.

You can enter several license keys for the same service, but only the last key that you enter will be active.

To license your GravityZone security services, to change an existing license key, or to enter a separate key for an add-on:

      Important

      Only one license key can be active at a time for a specific service.

    • Expiry date and remaining license period

      Important

      When license expires, the protection modules of the installed agents are disabled. As a result, endpoints are no longer protected and you cannot perform any scan task. Any new installed agent will enter in trial period.

    • License usage count

Resetting the license usage count

You can find out information about your license key's usage count in the License page, under the Usage column.

If you need to update the usage information, select the license key that you want and click the reset.png Reset button at the upper side of the table.

Deleting license keys

You can choose to delete invalid or expired license keys from the License page.

Warning

Deleting a license key will remove the corresponding security service from Control Center. You will not be able to install and manage protection offered by that service, on the endpoints in your network. Nevertheless, the endpoints remain protected as long as the license key is valid.

If you enter a new valid license key that includes the previously deleted service, it will re-enable all features of that service in Control Center.
