No. Lyve Mobile’s subscription-based approach provides a scalable and predictable model that is purposefully designed to help you reduce upfront IT costs and bring greater flexibility to your day-to-day business operations.

Once you create an account at lyve.seagate.com, simply assign a product user to your project. If that’s you, use your product user credentials to assign yourself to the project. The assigned user will then receive an email invitation to the Lyve Management Portal and a link to download Lyve Client software, which is required to unlock devices. The product user provisioning (through KMS) authorizes the username and password associated with the project and the device specified. Once Client is downloaded, product users can log into the device through Client and the device will be automatically detected and appear on the dashboard.

Data security is always top of mind for us. That’s why Lyve Mobile shuttles include self-encrypting drives (SEDs) for data encryption as well as government-grade crypto erase for completed projects. Additionally, they’re built with online/offline user management with IT admin permissions, field user permissions, and remote field permission applications. As for physical transport, they include a mil-grade Pelican case featuring a lock, tamper-resistant screws, and tamper-evident sticker seals.

Companies from an array of industries use Lyve Mobile, including automotive, geosciences, oil and gas, and more. Typically, these companies fall into one of the following categories: They require weekly data shuttling for ongoing data sharing, or, they need to transfer large data archives from edge locations and therefore require high-capacity lift-and-shift solutions.
