Centrify Offers Likewise Customers Simple and Affordable Migration
New Software and Support Trade-in Program Makes it Easy to Upgrade to Centrify Active Directory Bridge and Privilege Management Technologies
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Centrify Corporation, the leading provider of security and compliance solutions that centrally control, secure and audit cross-platform systems and applications using Active Directory, today announced a new program for organizations interested in replacing their existing Likewise Software products. The Centrify Software Trade-in program offers customers credit for their purchased versions of Likewise products when migrating to Centrify technology prior to December 31, 2011. Additionally, free support is available for customers wishing to swap out the free Likewise utility for Centrify's comprehensive suite of free solutions. This trade-in announcement is made in the context of Likewise Software exiting the Active Directory Bridge market and announcing an asset sale of its Likewise Enterprise and Likewise Open technology.
The potential misuse of shared credentials and privileged access is leading IT managers to focus on providing authenticated and authorized access to on-premise and cloud-based systems. Centrify delivers these capabilities by letting organizations of all sizes leverage the existing infrastructure they already own--Microsoft Active Directory--to perform identity consolidation and privilege management of Linux, UNIX and Mac systems in their environment. With integrated authentication, single sign-on, authorization, auditing, encryption of data-in-motion and new cloud security capabilities, Centrify Suite 2011 provides the broadest set of both free and licensed functionality for Active Directory integration.

The new Software Trade-in Program allows Likewise customers to easily upgrade to Centrify software licenses for free.

smooth migration

period of time when migrating to Centrify Express, the most
