Applying License Updates to SL AdminMode Keys

Several methods exist to apply updates to a Sentinel protection key (for example, using Sentinel Admin Control Center or Sentinel Licensing API). However, for SL AdminMode keys, an additional simplified method to apply updates exists.

You can do either of the following:

>Use software to place the V2C file containing the license update directly into the installed directory described above (see Viewing License Updates).

>Instruct the end user to place the file into the installed directory.

The Sentinel License Manager detects the V2C file in the installed directory and automatically applies the license update.

NOTE   These methods are not applicable for V2CP files.

If the license update is applied successfully, the Sentinel License Manager then moves the V2C file from the installed directory to the appropriate installed\vendorID\ subdirectory.

If the license update installation fails, the Sentinel License Manager moves the V2C file to a separate directory called invalid. The failure is recorded in the Admin Control Center access log. The log can be viewed from the Access Log option in Admin Control Center. Note: This access log is primarily for troubleshooting.
