Order Processing and Production Examples
In the examples in this section, HQ Software defines the following orders for its customers:
1.Order for Sentinel HL keys
2.Order for Product Keys (Sentinel SL keys)
3.Protection Key Update order
Order Example 1: Order for Sentinel HL Keys
Scenario: A new customer, ABC Design, orders the ThalesCAD Office Product from HQ Software with a license for 20 users.
Since the ThalesCAD Office Product is defined with Sentinel HL key protection, the details for this order are defined as follows:
>Customer:ABC Design
>Product: ThalesCAD Office
>Order type: Sentinel HL keys
>Number of keys: 20
When this order is produced, the ThalesCAD Office Product license is programmed on 20 Sentinel HL keys, which are then shipped to the customer.
Order Example 2: Order for Product Keys (Sentinel SL Keys)
Scenario: On March 15, 2017, another customer, JL Optics, orders the ThalesCAD Home Product, with a license for use on two computers.
The ThalesCAD Home Product is defined with Sentinel SL key protection and an annual rental license. To ensure that the customer enjoys a full year’s licensed use, the expiration date needs to be specified when the order is placed.
The details for this order are defined as follows:
>Customer: JL Optics
>Product: ThalesCAD Home
>Expiration date for DRAW and SAVE: March 15, 2018
>Order type: Product Key-based
>Number of Product Keys: 1
>Number of Activations per Product Key: 2
NOTE This example assumes that JL Optics has installed and used the ThalesCAD Home[Trial] unlocked trialware Product on the two computers before ordering the ThalesCAD Home Product. As a result, the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment for Sentinel SL has already been initialized on those computers.
When this order is produced, a file is generated containing a Product Key. HQ Software sends this file to JL Optics by email.
Two end users at JL Optics open the file and enter the Product Key as required on the HQ Software Web site. The HQ Software customer interface application sends the Product Key to Sentinel LDK-EMS, which validates the Product Key and returns a Sentinel SL key to the customer.
The Sentinel SL key is installed on the two computers at JL Optics with the license information, and the ThalesCAD Home Product can be activated under the terms of the license.
Order Example 3: Order for Protection Key Update
Scenario: HQ Software informs ABC Design that a new version of ThalesCAD Office has been released, containing the REPORT GENERATOR Feature, and that an upgrade is available for purchase. ABC Design orders the enhanced Product for five of its 20 users.
HQ Software has defined a
Before defining the Protection Key Update order, HQ Software needs to receive C2V files for the five Sentinel HL keys to be updated. ABC Design uses the RUS utility to generate the required C2V files and sends them to HQ Software.
After the C2V files have been received and checked in, HQ Software defines a Protection Key Update order for the Modification Product.
The details for this order are defined as follows:
>Customer: ABC Design
>Product: ThalesCAD Office v2.0
>Order type: Protection Key Update
>Update delivery method: Manual
>Number of Sentinel protection keys to be updated: 5
During the order definition process, the five Sentinel HL keys to be updated are selected from all the keys issued to ABC Design, according to the C2V files received.
When this order is produced, a V2C file is generated for each selected Sentinel HL key and sent to the customer.
The selected five end users install the update on their Sentinel HL keys, using the RUS utility. They are then able to activate the upgraded version of ThalesCAD Office and to generate tailored reports.
