Description

Enterprise USB Erasure Enablement tool creates a bootable USB flash drive (USB stick) containing Blancco Drive Eraser software. The user selects a Drive Eraser ISO image that will be written to the USB stick and after this, the tool is used to transfer licenses from the user's Blancco Cloud account to the USB stick.

Restrictions:

  • The maximum number of licenses that can be written to the USB stick is 250. In addition, the user cannot write more licenses than there are available in the Blancco Cloud account.
  • Once a bootable USB stick is created, you cannot add any extra licenses. The USB stick is always overwritten.
  • License validity date:
    • Version < 1.3.1: The licenses are valid for 60 days after creating the USB stick. The validity date for the licenses is carried over from the Blancco Cloud account used during the process and will be used if the expiry is sooner than 60 days.
    • Version >= 1.3.1: The license validity date is carried over from the Blancco Cloud account used during the process.
  • The user must have an existing Blancco Cloud account before creating the bootable USB drive.

  • Only Blancco Drive Eraser Enterprise Volume Edition licenses are supported.

  • Report sending to Management Console is not supported. Report must be stored to a USB media and imported manually to Management Console.
