text: **Note:**Software encryption is available in IBM Spectrum Virtualize code V7.6 and later. 
  
  Both methods of encryption use the same encryption algorithm, key management 
  infrastructure, and license. 
  
  **Note:**The design for encryption is based on the concept that a system is encrypted or not 
  encrypted. Encryption implementation is intended to encourage solutions that contain only 
  encrypted volumes or only unencrypted volumes. For example, after encryption is enabled 
  on the system, all new objects (for example, pools) are by default created as encrypted.
