Introduction
The RIPE NCC has recently extended the authentication mechanisms in the RIPE
Database to support PGP functionality. To be able to use PGP software in
their interaction with the RIPE Database, users need a commercial license
from PGP. If a user does not have a commercial license already or needs a
new one, the RIPE NCC can provide one (or more) to the user under the
circumstances detailed below. To learn how to use PGP with the RIPE
Database, please refer to RIPE-189 RIPE NCC Database documentation update to
support RIPE DB ver. 2.2.1 , available at
http://www.ripe.net/docs/ripe-189.html . Please, send all comments and
questions to <ripe-dbm@ripe.net>.
PGP license

Database to be a commercial activity requiring a licensed copy of the
software. This me ans you need to have a license for commercial use of PGP

software in interaction with the RIPE Database.

license to be withdrawn.
Users who are unsure about their licensing status can enquire via the
RIPE NCC web-site quoting their license number.

interaction with the RIPE Database through the usual mail box
