Software Trust Manager licenses

Software Trust Manager operates on a subscription licensing model, offering a range of licenses corresponding to different activities within your account. Understanding these licenses and their limits is essential for managing your accounts effectively.

License

Description

Consumption

Signature units

Signature units are relative to the number of hashes that are signed with a production keypair. Every hash that you sign consumes one signature unit.

Soft limit

While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred.

Test signature units

Test signature units are relative to the number of hashes that are signed with a test keypair. Every hash you sign consumes one signature unit.

Soft limit

While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred.

Cryptographic units

Cryptographic units are a count of all operations performed by an account, which are related to cryptographic assets, excluding signatures.

Cryptographic events include:

  • Create a keypair

  • Update a keypair

  • Export a keypair

  • Import keypair

  • Create a certificate

  • Update a certificate

  • Import a certificate

  • Revoke a certificate

  • Generate a CSR

Soft limit

While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred.

HSM keypair units

HSM keypair units refer to how many keypairs you create on our HSMs. We provide sufficient space for the number of public trust certificates you are licensed to create as part of your Software Trust license. The more signature units you buy, the more public certificates and HSM keypair space you will be allocated.

Hard limit

You can't exceed the allocated HSM keypair units unless Sales amends your licenses.

Threat detection (GB)

Threat detection units are calculated in GB. For every GB that they scan, 1 threat detection unit is consumed.

Soft limit

While you can exceed the allocated signature units, overages can be incurred.
