Frequently asked questions
Answers about the platform, individually licensed modules, evaluations, account access and customer support.
How do quotations and purchases work?
Submit a request or speak with your existing Alkren partner. Alkren coordinates the technical discussion and, where applicable, the appropriate distributor or partner coordinates the commercial process. A purchase is governed by the accepted order and agreed terms. The website is an enquiry and customer access channel; it does not process a card checkout.
Will the modules integrate with our existing tools?
Share the tool names, versions, interfaces and the workflow you need. Alkren will confirm the supported integrations and any configuration or project work required. A technology mentioned in a portfolio description is a discussion point; it does not establish that a connector is installed or included in your licence.
Why is a purchased module not visible in My platform?
Check that you have selected the correct organization. Visibility follows your active membership and the module entitlement recorded for that organization, including its status and start and end dates. If the expected module is missing, contact your organization administrator or Alkren with your order or enquiry reference. Do not create a second account to bypass the issue.
How do we choose our first modules?
Start with the business outcome and the systems involved. Choose the relevant suite, review its modules and send an enquiry with your priorities, environment and success criteria. Alkren will help confirm the supported scope, prerequisites and a suitable evaluation plan. You can discuss adding further modules as your requirements develop.
Who can see our support conversations?
A private customer ticket is limited to its permitted participants and authorized support staff. Organization-shared conversations are available to approved organization members with the relevant access. Internal staff notes have a separate permission boundary. Use only information you are authorized to share, and confirm the intended visibility before submitting.
How do I get a customer portal account?
Use Request portal access on the sign-in page, or contact your approved organization administrator or Alkren representative. Membership is reviewed and approved. Matching an organization’s email domain does not itself grant access. Use your own account and keep your credentials private.
What should I do if I cannot complete sign-in?
Use the email associated with your approved account and try the password recovery route. If an authenticator is required, use your authenticator or an unused recovery code. A password reset does not remove the authenticator requirement. If you have lost both, contact your organization administrator or Alkren for a verified recovery process.
Are shared modules licensed twice?
A shared module has one stable module identifier even when it appears in more than one suite. Its agreed entitlement applies to that module. Related products with different enforcement or governance purposes have their own scope, which Alkren will clarify during evaluation.
Can we request a demonstration or proof of concept?
Yes. Use Request a demo and select the solution suite and module you want to discuss. Describe the target environment, main use case and what would demonstrate success. Evaluation availability, duration, prerequisites, delivery and any temporary licence are agreed for that evaluation. Sending the form does not create a licence or purchase.
Where can I download software and licence files?
Sign in, select your organization and open My platform. Available releases and licence files appear only when genuine files have been registered and your current access permits them. A module page alone does not mean an installer has been delivered. If an agreed file is absent, contact Alkren or your partner with the relevant reference.
How can I speak with Alkren before buying?
Use the contact or demonstration request form and tell us the outcome, selected suites or modules and any important deployment requirements. You can also start with your existing Alkren partner. We will use the details you provide to review and route your enquiry. A separate optional marketing choice is not required to request a response.
How do the platform, suites and modules fit together?
Alkren Unified Enterprise Security & Technology Platform is the umbrella for ten solution suites. Each suite groups related products and modules. Your agreed scope identifies the modules, deployment, usage limits and licence terms that apply to your organization.
How are module licences measured?
The measure depends on the module and the agreement. It may relate to assets, endpoints, identities, users, applications, data volumes, environments or an agreed scope. Ask Alkren to define what is counted, any limits and how additions or renewals are handled. The public catalogue does not set a universal price or usage allowance.
How do we confirm module availability and integrations?
Use a module page to discuss its scope, supported environments, integrations and delivery requirements. The displayed availability and the confirmed evaluation or agreement determine the scope. Portfolio descriptions do not replace an agreed specification.
How can I raise a privacy or personal-data request?
Use the contact route in the Privacy notice and describe your request without including passwords or unnecessary sensitive information. If your request concerns data controlled by your employer or another customer organization, that organization may need to handle it. Identity and authority may need to be verified before account or data changes are made.
Do I need an account to read the FAQ and public guides?
No. Published public FAQs, knowledge articles and reference documents are available without signing in. Some customer, organization or product material requires approved access. Earlier reference editions are labelled; confirm the current module-specific scope during evaluation.
How do I open a support request?
Sign in and open a ticket for a product your organization is permitted to receive support for. Include the module, version, deployment, symptoms, steps to reproduce, impact and relevant timestamps. Use the privacy option appropriate to the conversation. Your service agreement determines the support scope and any response commitments.
Why does Open customer portal take me to sign-in?
The portal contains organization information and permitted support and delivery records. Visitors who are not signed in are directed to the sign-in page. After successful authentication, and an authenticator or recovery check when required, the portal opens with the permissions approved for that account.
Can we start with selected modules?
Yes. Discuss the modules that meet your immediate priorities, confirm their availability and scope, then agree the required evaluation or commercial licence. Further modules can be added under the agreed terms. A suite listing does not automatically include every module.
What is the Alkren unified platform?
Alkren Unified Enterprise Security & Technology Platform brings ten solution suites into one portfolio. The suites cover privileged and non-human identity security; data security and management; identity and access; exposure and validation; governance, risk and compliance; privacy; cryptography; AI; IT operations; and enterprise architecture. Each product or module has its own agreed scope.
