Revoke Company's Certificate

Endpoint machines join Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud via the Cloud client MSI download (see the Downloads section ). Inside the Cloud client MSI (for each company) is a unique x509 certificate. This identifies your MSI among all other Endpoint Policy Manager customers. This way, only your Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud client MSI can be used to join computers to your Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud account. If your MSI is lost, you see unexpected machines in your Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud, or you want to replace the MSI, you have the option to select Revoke company's certificate.

This is a security mechanism that will re-issue the x509 certificate, which has the following effects:

• New MSIs will be encoded with a new x509 certificate.
• All existing clients using Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud remain working as they are currently.
• Future computers that join Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud will need to use your newly-issued MSIs to join Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud.

Therefore, if you've lost your MSIs, or published them on the Internet, and you see machines consuming licenses you hadn't anticipated being consumed, you have a way to ensure all new computers start using your new MSI (encoded with a new x509 certificate). As soon as you perform the action, existing MSIs will stop functioning. Attempts to use them will fail and the installer gets a message:.
