If I get this correct you are using just KMS which does not require a license - this allows hardware encryption. (if doing media server encryption this does not apply)

In the library I use it was buried in a place I did not think to look and was not in the manual for the library - I had to call support for the library and ask how to turn on hardware encryption.
And it was just a matter of saying - yes the tape drives can do hardware encryption - once that is done it should work for you.
