Specifying License Values for Individual Orders
Sentinel LDK offers you maximum flexibility with regard to license terms, enabling you to supply the same Product to different customers with different license term values.
You do not have to specify in advance the exact values for the license, including the number of concurrent instances for each Feature in the Product. When each order for the Product is processed, the person processing the order can define the values required for that specific order.
Example: Specifying License Terms and Protection Levels
Scenario: The HQ Software Product Manager decides to specify the following license terms for its three Products:
>A trial period of 30 days for the PRINT and VIEW Features in its HQ Design Demo Product
>A low-cost annual rental license for the DRAW and SAVE Features in the HQ Design Lite Product, with unlimited usage for the PRINT and VIEW Features
>A more costly, full-featured license for the HQ Design Pro Product that specifies unlimited usage for all Features
The following protection levels are defined for each of the Products:
>HQ Design Demo is defined as an unlocked trialware Product, to enable it to be distributed freely for evaluation
>HQ Design Lite is supplied with Sentinel SL key protection, enabling electronic distribution
>HQ Design Pro is supplied with Sentinel HL key protection, for maximum security
The following table summarizes the three Products, their protection levels, and their licensed Features:
