# License Trellix DLP

To access your Trellix DLP products, license details are required when accessing Trellix DLP for the first time and are entered in DLP Getting Started. Additional new licenses and edits to existing licenses are configured in **Data Protection** → **DLP Settings**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> You can enter a license for either Trellix DLP Endpoint or Trellix Device Control in the Trellix DLP Endpoint field. Replacing one type of license with another changes the configuration.

You can enter keys for these products:

- Trellix DLP Endpoint or Trellix Device Control
- Trellix DLP Discover
- McAfee Legacy Network DLP (9.3.x)
- Trellix DLP Network Prevent (10.x or later)
- Trellix DLP Network Monitor (11.x or later)

The DLP Settings module has eight tabbed pages. Information about the **General** tab is required. You can use the default values or fields for most of the remaining settings if you don't have special requirements.

The **Skyhigh Security Cloud Server** tab is used to set up integration with Skyhigh Security Cloud.

1. In ePO - On-prem, select **Menu** → **Data Protection** → **DLP Settings**.
2. On the **General** tab in the **License Keys** → **Key** field, enter the license key for each license that you want to add, then click **Add**.

Installing the license activates the related ePO - On-prem components and ePO - On-prem Policy Catalog policies.
3. In the **Default Evidence Storage** field, enter the path.

The evidence storage path must be a network path, that is \\[server]\[share]. This step is required to save the settings and activate the software.
4. Set the shared password.
5. Set the backward compatibility.

Choose from one of the five options ranging from **9.4.0.0** to **11.0.0** and later compatibility. This setting limits the possibility of using new features.

Two modes of compatibility are available: strict and non-strict. In strict mode, policies with backward compatibility errors cannot be applied. In non-strict mode, the policy owner, or a user with Administrator permissions, can choose to apply policies with backward compatibility errors.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If you are using multiple client versions, set the compatibility to match the oldest client version in use.
6. Click **Save**.
7. To back up the configuration, select the **Back Up & Restore** tab, then click **Backup to file**.

Trellix DLP modules appear in **Menu** → **Data Protection** according to the licenses entered.
