Usage Notes
This method is used to specify conditions that specify where login information is to be searched for.
The Feature ID must first be specified using the Hasp constructor.
If the Feature license expires while the login session is active, the login session (and therefore, the application) is allowed to continue. This is due to the fact that terminating the session may result in corruption of the application output or data.
The required Vendor Codes are stored in a VendorCodes folder in your system. Without the correct Vendor Code, the method call cannot succeed.
You can open simultaneous login sessions.
This method does not work with legacy Sentinel HASP Features.
NOTE When this method is called for a Feature with a license type of Execution Count, Expiration Date, or Time Period, a write cycle is performed for the Sentinel protection key. Sentinel HL keys are certified to withstand a specific number of write cycles. For information on the number of write cycles for which Sentinel HL keys are certified, see the Sentinel HL Data Sheet.
If detaching of licenses is enabled, an automatic detach occurs when the LoginScope method is called.
You can perform an on-demand detach by calling the Transfer method. For details, see:
