Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise Advanced Installation Guide v3.8

Configure Deferred Activation

The Encryption client with Deferred Activation differs from the Encryption client activation in two ways:

Device-based Encryption policies

The Encryption client policies are user-based; the Encryption client with Deferred Activation's encryption policies are device-based. User encryption is converted to Common encryption. This difference allows the user to bring a personal device to use within the organization's domain, while the organization maintains its security by centrally managing encryption policies.

Activation

With the Encryption client, activation is automatic. When Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise with Deferred Activation is installed, automatic activation is disabled. Instead, the user chooses whether to activate encryption, and when to activate it.
