The requirements

1.

To be able to operate your erasure machine, you require a monitor, mouse and keyboard to control and manage the erasure process. No bootable media devices is needed.

2.

Online option: an Internet connection is required to login to your Certus cloud account to access purchased licenses and define erasure settings. All network transmissions are protected by security encryption protocol TLS v1.3.

Offline option: a Single Unit HASP Key is required to login to Certus Erasure Software. The key contains login credentials and purchased licenses and should be bought separately.

3.

Online option: all your erasure activities such as erasure and hardware audit reports can be found in the Certus Erasure Web Manager.

Offline option: all your erasure activities such as erasure and hardware audit reports or issue reports need to be saved on an external storage device. Note that they can not be saved on the bootable USB drive and HASP Key. Saved reports can be imported to the Certus Software Web Manager. The HASP Key ID should be linked to your Cloud account (available upon request).
