How can you purchase Entitlements?

Dell Data Security Entitlements are available to purchase:

  • On select Dell hardware (on-the-box) at https://www.dell.com/
  • In bulk volume by contacting a sales specialist

What are the requirements to use Entitlements?

To validate on the box entitlements, outbound traffic must be opened for:

Destination Protocol Port
cloud.dell.com HTTPS TCP 443

Alternatively, an existing HTTP/HTTPS proxy server may be used in place of direct connectivity through the firewall.

What Happens if Entitlement Counts are Exceeded?

Entitlements managed by Dell Security Management Server (formerly Dell Data Protection | Enterprise Edition) or Dell Security Management Server Virtual (formerly Dell Data Protection | Virtual Edition) allow for an overage of:

  • v8.0.0 and Later: 5% overage
  • v7.0.0 to 7.5.0: 10% overage

Once the overage limit is reached, new activations fail until either new entitlements are acquired or entitlements are removed from existing clients.
License Warning and License Fault

Example: The customer has purchased and installed 300 entitlements for product X. Customer can activate product x on:

  • v8.0.0 and Later: 315 endpoints
  • v7.0.0 to 7.5.0: 330 endpoints
