Admin Control Center Interface

When you launch Sentinel Admin Control Center, the Web interface displays a number of Administration Options on the left of the page. The Sentinel Admin Control Center help provides information about the fields for each option. Note that the options relate to Sentinel License Manager on the machine whose name or IP address appears in the title bar of Admin Control Center.

The following options are available:

>Sentinel Keys enables you to identify which Sentinel protection keys are currently present on the network, including locally connected keys.

>Products enables you to view a list of all the Base Products available on all Sentinel License Managers (local and network). In addition, when a Product contains Features with detachable licenses you can see the number of licenses for the Product that are currently available to be detached from the network and the maximum duration for which they may be detached. This option also enables you to access the Detach/Extend functions.

NOTE   The Product name for Products that are licensed with Sentinel HL keys are not necessarily displayed in Admin Control Center. For more information, see Making Product Names Visible on the End User's Machine.

>Features enables you to view a list of the Features that are licensed in each of the Sentinel protection keys that are currently present on the network, including locally connected keys. In addition, you can see the conditions of the license, and the current activity related to each Feature.

>Sessions lists all the sessions of clients on the local machine, and those remotely logged in to Sentinel License Manager on the local machine. You can view session data and terminate sessions.

>Update/Attach enables you to update existing licenses on a Sentinel protection key in the field and, in the case of Sentinel SL keys, to attach a detachable license to a recipient machine. It also enables you to apply identification details of an offline recipient machine to a host machine in order to create a file for a detachable license.

>Access Log enables you to view a history of log entries for the server on which Sentinel License Manager is running. Note: This access log is primarily for troubleshooting. It is not intended for business intelligence, sales-related insights, or post-paid billing.

>Configuration enables you to specify certain operating settings for Sentinel Admin Control Center running on the connected machine. You can set parameters relating to user access, access to remote Sentinel License Managers, and access from remote clients. In addition, you can customize log template files in terms of the data they return.

>Diagnostics enables you to view operating information for the Sentinel License Manager to which you are currently logged in, to assist in diagnosing problems. You can generate reports in HTML format. This option also enables you to view miscellaneous data relating to the use of the server on which Sentinel License Manager is running.
