Cloud Licensing Module

Sentinel LDK provides an alternative for software-based licensing called cloud licensing. This model is based on the software-based protection keys, but provides an extension to the traditional model. Using the cloud licensing model, a protected application uses an identity string to log in to the SL license hosted on a vendor-managed or a customer-managed license server machine.

For information on cloud licensing, see Implementing Cloud Licensing.

To generate and update SL licenses that grant license access based on identity strings, your Sentinel LDK Master license must contain the Cloud Licensing module and the Product Activation module.

NOTE   If cloud licensing is enabled in Sentinel LDK-EMS or Sentinel License Generation API, all license updates to SL keys will enable cloud licensing for the keys and will allow users (in the customer-hosted implementation) to freely manage their identities.
