About License Management

You can view and update the details of your Clearswift Gateway license from the System Center. You can also request a license validation for an updated license.

Clearswift Gateway validates your license automatically on a daily basis. As part of this process, it sends a set of validation request data and usage statistics to Clearswift.

Tell me about...

• The license validation request data

  Clearswift SECURE Email Gateway automatically validates your license every 24 hours by sending a set of validation data to a Clearswift License Server. During this validation process, the Clearswift Gateway also sends system usage statistics to Clearswift.

  Clearswift uses these statistics to ensure that our hardware and software are performing as predicted, and also to obtain an overall impression of the global SMTP mail environment.

  The statistics do not include any employee personal data or other information that would enable the identification of a person. We might publicly refer to these statistics when marketing our products.

  Some statistics include your company's IP addresses and administrator information. You can prevent the Gateway from sending this information to Clearswift by selecting the When validating a license restrict the validation request data check box in your Call-home Settings. For more information on editing your Call-home Settings, see step 3 in Viewing or Updating your Clearswift Gateway License Details. If you select this option, any statistics that include your company's IP addresses and administrator information are marked by when you view the validation request data.

  To see the data that was sent on the last validation request:

  • From the System Center Home page, click View License and select View validation request data from the task panel on the left.
