Feature/License Installation

Optional Feature Activations

PEmicro offers Cyclone LC users the flexibility to add a set of advanced security/encryption features which are not included as standard features. It can be added by purchasing and installing the ProCryption Security Activation license.

ProCryption Security

The ProCryption Security feature set offers extremely valuable security features:

  • RSA/AES encryption of programming images
  • Users create unique ImageKeys which are used to encrypt their programming images. SAP images encrypted in this way can only be loaded onto a Cyclone or programmed with a Cyclone if that Cyclone has been provisioned with the identical ImageKey.
  • The ability to restrict image programming by programming count or date range.
  • Programming restrictions on images are easily configured during the image creation process.

Together these security features help keep the user’s valuable IP safe.

Cyclone License Installation

The ProCryption Security Activation License should be installed onto a Cyclone LC that does not already hcve the liecense activated. Once the license is installed onto the Cyclone, it will be available to the Cyclone even after it is reset and/or powered down. Having the license installed in the Cyclone itself is advantageous since it moves with the Cyclone (if the Cyclone is moved from PC to PC).
