FAQs

  • Are there any limits or constraints on shipment requests? Yes:

    Address validation takes place every 15 minutes. This means that you might have to wait up to 15 minutes to find out if your shipment request has been queued for fulfillment (see Shipping Status Codes).

    Non-subscription purchases: Shipment requests can be made for up to one year after a PO is submitted.

    Subscription purchases: Availability of products in shipment requests depends on the stock/inventory from which the products are drawn. (For details, see Tier Sub-categories.)

    The full list of options that were potentially available in Subscription (1.0) is given below. The actual list depends on what you have purchased. Explanations for the terms in the list are given in the table below the list. For more details on subscription and non-subscription purchasing, see Modes of Purchase.

  • What happens to YubiKeys purchased on a subscription basis after expiry of the corresponding PO/term? Any keys not shipped are forfeited, but the date of forfeiture or expiry depends on their inventory type: see “Are there any limits or constraints on shipment requests” above.

  • We may need to have several people in the company place orders for YubiKeys. How does YubiEnterprise Delivery satisfy that requirement? Any individual who has administrative rights to the YubiEnterprise Delivery Console can place orders for keys through the console. Admins can be delegated across locations so that they can best gauge the numbers of users who will need YubiKeys and request shipments all at once, or over time as needed.
