Measures for Managing Safety Tool Licenses
This document describes the information related to the safety tool licenses and helps
related personnel to obtain the licenses. The intended audiences of this document are
version coordinators of different product lines and technical support staff who install the
safety tools on site.
Safety tool licenses are the property of the Security Department. The Security
Department issues all the safety tool licenses.
Xu Yuankun (ID: 43202) is the coordinator for temporary licenses for the testing and
verification purposes. The validity period of temporary licenses is around 30 days.
Zhang Qiuting (ID: 40998) is the coordinator for official licenses. The validity of
official licenses is longer than three years.
If you want to apply for a license directly, skip to section 3 "Procedure for Applying
for a Safety Tool License."
1 Principle of Safety Tool Licenses
A safety tool license is verified and controlled in the signature mode by using
asymmetric keys. A secret key is used for signing and a public key is used for
verification.
An official license is a verification file signed by a secret key.
A safety tool contains a public key. When starting the tool, first check the integrity of
the license file using the public key.
After checking the integrity, check the identity of the machine.
Then, check the validity period of the software.

2 Characteristics of Safety Tool Licenses
Integrity check ensures that a license cannot be tampered. A license file becomes
invalid if altered. This prevents different products from using the same license.
Identity check ensures that a machine cannot be illegally installed. Every official
license file is bound to the fingerprint for a machine. That is, a license file can be used
only in one machine. This prevents a license file from being repeatedly used.
Validity period check ensures that the software cannot be illegally used. An official
license file has a validity period. This prevents an official license from being used after
the validity period expires.
Note that the validity period of a safety tool is an absolute time segment instead of a
relative time segment. This time segment is controlled by an effective date and a number
of valid days. For example, the effective date of a license is 2005-09-01 and the validity
period is 30 days. The license is valid from 2005-09-01 to 2005-09-31. The license is
invalid before or after this time segment. The validity period does not begin from the date
when the tool is installed.
In a word, safety tool licenses are strictly controlled and cannot be used without
authorization.
3 Procedure for Applying for a Safety Tool License

verification purposes are controlled by the R&D Department. The coordinator is Xu
Yuankun (ID: 43202).
3.1 Preparations
Make sure that the tool is installed and useable before applying for an official
license. If the tool is installed for the first time, only a temporary license file whose validity
period is shorter than 30 days is available.
Note:
If a message indicating the expiry of the validity period is displayed after the tool is installed, the
license file provided with the software expires. Please apply for a temporary license first.
To apply for a temporary license, send the name and version number of the relevant software to Xu
Yuankun.
3.2 Obtaining the Version Number
Record the version number of the safety tool. Fill in the correct version number when
you apply for a license; otherwise, the license file you obtain is unusable.

Record the user ID, which can be used to apply for an official license file.
3.4 Applying for an Official License File Through the Notes Workflow
Note:
The R&D database where the Notes workflow is located is independent of other databases. Thus,
on-site customer service staff and other people who are unable to access the R&D database cannot
apply for a license.
To solve this problem, do as follows:
1. Entrust a person who has the access to the R&D database to apply for the
license.
2. Fill in the following table (example) and send the table to the person-in-charge
to apply for the license.
