Software-based Solutions

In software-based solutions, following the installation of your software on an end user’s computer, the protection and licensing is bonded to that specific machine. Your software will only function after a Product Key has been entered by the user. At run-time, the Sentinel License Manager checks that the software is on the machine on which it is licensed to run and that it is being used in accordance with the user’s license terms.

Sentinel LDK provides a robust software-based solution using Sentinel SL keys. A Sentinel SL key resides in the secure storage of a specific computer and is patterned on the functionality of a Sentinel HL key.
