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 will need to purchase the IBM Security Key
Lifecycle Manager software from IBM, Dell EMC CloudLink or Thales KeySecure.
Dell customers currently 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 will
be available for the EKM 3.0 software. Customers needing updates (e.g. Microsoft Windows 2012 and LTO7)
will need to purchase the IBM SLKM software.
Dell customers will 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
aforementioned supported PowerVault tape libraries.

EKM 3.0 to the IBM SKLM software. This must be applied to the Dell EKM 3.0 software installation prior to
