Why is there a license for the IGEL Agent for Imprivata (IAFI)?
When IAFI was first developed, it had a limited feature set and workflow support. The initial integration was in IGEL OS 11 and later developed for IGEL OS 12. Like other IGEL OS add-on licensed options, we chose to enable the configuration of IAFI with a license at no cost, along with a REQUIRED WORKFLOW VALIDATION PROCESS prior to providing any licenses for testing.
During the early development phase, the license allowed us to track IAFI customer usage, the adoption of the new agent, and which feature requests and enhancements should be prioritized on the roadmap due to customer demand.
Prior to IAFI General Availability (August 2023), we created an Early Access program designed to solicit feedback from more customers as we moved forward with the feature release process.
Customers on IGEL OS 11 were free to use either the PIE agent or IAFI, assuming the latter agent could support their desired workflow(s).

What changed with IGEL OS 12?
IGEL OS 12 introduced a new architecture that was app-centric with the IGEL App Portal vs. monolithic firmware with all integrated apps included. This required changes to the app deployment methodology within the OS. As noted earlier, the initial IAFI integration was delivered in IGEL OS 11 firmware and later updated to support the new OS 12 architecture changes. Generally speaking, the delivery model was updated to be more app-centric for IGEL OS 12 and the other applications we integrate with such as Citrix, Horizon, or AVD. It was determined that the Imprivata PIE would not function on OS 12 without significant changes, and the collective decision was made to move customers over to IAFI as they upgrade to OS 12.
How to Enable IAFI Licenses in the IGEL License Portal (ILP)
Within the IGEL License Portal, once the licenses are assigned, the EULA must be accepted and then the IAFI product pack will be available to assign to a UMS Server for Automatic License Deployment (ALD).
Fetching the IAFI Product Pack from the ILP
Login into the IGEL License Portal and navigate to the IIA Product Pack.
Click the Accept IGEL EULA button
Once the EULA is accepted, make sure to assign the IIA Product Pack to your IGEL UMS ID. This is done with Manage UMS IDs:.
