Use module lifecycle policy exceptions to customize the lifecycle of your module keys.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sn_kmf.admin or sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Module lifecycle policy exceptions change the lifecycle policy of Field Encryption modules from the standard Instance-level lifecycle policy. For example, if you've configured symmetric keys to be limited to one year at the instance level, you can create a module lifecycle policy
exception for a specific Field Encryption module to allow its key to remain active for two years.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecurityField EncryptionField Encryption Modules.
2. Select the field encryption module record that requires a module lifecycle policy exception.
3. In the field encryption module record, select New in the Module Policy Exceptions related list.
4. In the key lifecycle policy form, fill in the fields as needed.
