"Deep Freeze Pending Activation New"
The subject line typically indicates that the Faronics Deep Freeze software has been installed but has not yet successfully authenticated its license with the Faronics Activation Server .
- Pending Scheduled Tasks: An admin scheduled a freeze or thaw operation (temporary or permanent) that is set to take effect at the next reboot or at a specific time.
- License or Activation Workflow: A newly installed or updated protection agent requires activation or license validation; the activation step is queued until the service restarts or connects to the licensing server.
- Configuration Updates: Policy changes pushed from a management console are staged locally and await the agent’s restart to apply them.
- Incomplete Uninstallation/Upgrade: An upgrade or uninstall process left the agent in an intermediate state pending finalization.
- Connectivity Issues: The agent cannot reach the license or management server, so it marks the change as pending until a successful connection occurs.
- User-mode vs. Boot-time Actions: Some changes are intentionally deferred to boot time for safety; the UI reports them as pending until that reboot.
