Make the following preparations and check-ups before you start installing Tectia Client and Server.
Tectia products do not have any special hardware requirements. They can be installed on any computer capable of running the supported operating system versions and equipped with a functional network connection.
The Tectia Client installation requires about 400 MB of disk space. Note that Tectia Client will save each user's settings in that particular user's personal directory.
The Tectia Server installation requires 600 MB free disk space.
For general installation information, see Tectia Client User Manual and Tectia Server Administrator Manual.
Prerequisites
Before installing Tectia products on Unix platform, stop any OpenSSH or other third-party Secure Shell servers running on port 22, or change their listener port. You do not need to uninstall the OpenSSH software.
If installing on SUSE, install prerequisite package
insserv-compat.
On SELinux-enabled systems, ensure that the semanage
command is available. In older Linux versions semanage is
typically installed via policycoreutils-python-utils or
policycoreutils-python.
If installed on the same machine, Tectia Client and Tectia Server should always be upgraded to be the same version, because there are dependencies between the common components.
Check if you have some Secure Shell software, such as earlier versions of Tectia products or third-party Secure Shell server or client, running on the machine where you are planning to install the new Tectia versions.
In the following cases you must uninstall the existing version of Tectia Client/Server before installing version 7.0.0:
Your existing version is 4.x.
You are installing on Solaris.
In any other case you can upgrade to Tectia Client/Server 7.0.0 without first uninstalling the existing version. The existing version will be automatically removed from the host during the installation procedure.
Tectia Client and Server require a license to function.
The license file for Tectia Client is named stc70.dat and
the license file for Tectia Server is named sts70.dat.
Consider the following license-related issues:
You need to install the license file manually to directory:
/etc/ssh2/licenses
In the commercial installation packages, the license file(s) are included in the compressed
(.tar)
files together with the release notes (.txt) files and the PDF-format
documentation.
The Tectia evaluation packages do not contain license files; the evaluation versions can be used for 45 days without a license file. A banner message will remind users of how many days are left until the license expires.
When upgrading the evaluation version or standard commercial version to Tectia Quantum Safe Edition only license file(s) need to be copied to the license directory and Tectia Client and Server software restarted.
