Choosing and Integrating Hardware-, Software-, and Cloud Licensing
Sentinel LDK supports several different methods for licensing software applications and software embedded in hardware devices:
>Sentinel HL (hardware-based) keys
>Sentinel SL (software-based) keys
>Sentinel CL (cloud licensing – an extension of Sentinel SL keys)
Many software vendor are familiar with only Sentinel HL keys and may be reluctant to consider using Sentinel SL licensing. The purpose of this guide is to provide a comparison between HL and SL licensing and provide an introduction to working with Sentinel SL key and cloud licensing.
The following topics are discussed:
>Functional Differences Between HL, SL, and CL
>Updating the Sentinel LDK-EMS Catalog
