8 Dell Encryption Key Manager 3.0 Support
The sales life of the Dell Encryption Key Manager 3.0 software has ended. Customers purchasing library-
managed encryption licenses for their PowerVault tape libraries must purchase the IBM Security Key
Lifecycle Manager software from IBM, Dell EMC CloudLink, or Thales KeySecure.
Dell customers using Dell Encryption Key Manager 3.0 (EKM 3.0) may use the software through the end of
support life of the initial support contract of the PowerVault TL2000, TL4000, and ML6000 tape libraries with
which EKM 3.0 was purchased. However, no operating system or hardware updates or fixes are available for
the EKM 3.0 software. Customers needing updates (such as Microsoft Windows 2012 and LTO7) must
purchase the IBM SLKM software.
Dell customers must purchase the IBM SKLM software directly from IBM. US customers can purchase the
software at the following link. Non-US customers can access additional countries and languages on the upper
right side of the page. These pages only list the purchase requirements for Dell customers using the
supported PowerVault tape libraries.

The latest IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager Fix Pack (FP7 or greater) is required for migration from the Dell
EKM 3.0 to the IBM SKLM software. This fix pack must be applied to the Dell EKM 3.0 software installation
before starting the migration. This fix pack can be obtained at the IBM Fix Central at the following link:
