License File

Tectia Client and Server require a license to function. The license file for Tectia Client is named stc66.dat and the license file for Tectia Server is named sts66.dat.

Consider the following license-related issues:

The installation wizard automatically copies the license file to the correct directory when installing from an extracted package.
After installation, the license file is located in the default installation directory:
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\SSH Communications Security\SSH Tectia\SSH Tectia AUX\licenses" on 64-bit Windows versions
In the commercial installation packages, the license file(s) are included in the compressed (.zip) 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.
