• Astaro Up2Date Service - Automatic Internet updates of firmware and attack patterns always keep the system at a current level.

• Is it possible to apply an Astaro Security Gateway hardware license on Astaro Security Gateway software and vice versa?
  No. Astaro's hardware and software products use different licensing models and are not interchangeable.
  
  
• Which hardware platforms can be used with the Astaro Security Gateway software solution?
  Users are able to use any Intel-compatible server or PC that meets the following minimum recommendations: Intel Pentium III 900 MHz, 512MB RAM, 10 GB hard disk drive and above.
  
  
• Are printers counted as a user with Astaro Security Gateway software licences?
  Yes. Every device which has an IP address and is protected by the Astaro Security Gateway is counted as a "user".
  
  
• Is it possible to mix Astaro Security Gateway appliance types in clusters?
  Although technically feasible, we do not recommend using different appliance types within a cluster. This is because the lowest performing unit will limit the overall throughput of the whole cluster.
  
  
• Do I need the Email Filtering module if I would like to have Email Encryption?
  No. The Email Encryption module can be used independently from other subscriptions.
  
  
• Are system updates automatically downloaded and imported?
  Yes. In contrast to many other solutions, Astaro Security Gateway is able to automatically download and import not only pattern but also firmware updates.
