Defining License Terms for a Sentinel LDK Product

You specify the licensing details for each Feature when creating a Product or an Entitlement (if the license terms are defined as Specify at Entitlement time). If multiple Features require the same licensing details, you can multi-select Features and specify the licensing terms simultaneously.

For maximum flexibility, when creating a Product you can select Specify at entitlement time for many of the options to specify the values later when each individual order is processed.

As you configure the license details, the Configure License Terms dialog box changes dynamically according to the specified locking type and selected options to display only the relevant options.

For example, as you configure license terms for a Sentinel HL key (relevant for the HL, HL or SL AdminMode, or HL or SL (AdminMode or UserMode) locking types), the Sentinel HL Keys pane at the bottom of the dialog box changes dynamically by displaying a check mark under each type of Sentinel HL key that is compatible with the currently selected license terms, as shown in the following example.

Example of keys listed in the Configure License Terms dialog box

The following table lists the various Sentinel HL key types. A key type that is listed as NA is not supported for the currently selected license terms.

Configuration Type	Marking	Sentinel Key Type
Driverless		Sentinel HL (Driverless configuration) keys.
HASP		Both Sentinel HL (HASP Configuration) keys and older HASP HL keys.
HASP	*	Sentinel HL (HASP Configuration) keys only.

To define license details:

1.Open the Configure License Terms dialog box in one of the following ways:

•In the Product Features area of the Create New Product page:

–For a single Feature: Click the Configure link in the Feature row.

–For multiple Features: Select the check boxes for the relevant Features and, in the Product Features tab area, click Configure Selected.

•In the Product Details area of the Create New Entitlement page:

–For a single Feature: Click the License Type link in the Feature row.

–For multiple Features: Select the check boxes for the relevant Features and, in the Product Details area, click Configure Selected.

2.In the License Type box, select the license type for the Feature. Then specify the License Terms to apply to all orders for this Product.

License Type	License Terms
Execution Count The maximum number of times the Feature may be used. For a Modification Product, if you use the Modify option, you can specify the amount by which to increase or decrease the number of times specified in the original license. For example, if the Modification Product is based on a Product with an Execution Count of 100, and you want set the value in the Modification Product to 150, enter 50. Alternatively, if you want to set the value in the Modification Product to 75, enter -25.	>Executions: Enter an integer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank. >Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the value later when each individual order is processed.
Expiration Date The date on which the license for the Feature will expire. For a Modification Product, if you use the Modify option, you can add or subtract days to change the date specified in the original license. If you use the Overwrite option, you can specify a different date.	>Expiration Date: Click to open a calendar and select the date or enter the date using the default date format on your computer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank. >Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the date later when each individual order is processed.
Perpetual The license can be used an unlimited number of times and for an unlimited period of time.	No values are required for this license type.
Time period The number of days until the license expires. The number of days is counted from the date on which the licensed Feature is first used. For a Modification Product, you cannot use the Modify option to add or subtract days, but you can use the Overwrite option to replace the value.	>Number of Days: Enter an integer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank. >Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the value later when each individual order is processed.
Specify at entitlement time Enables the License Type to be specified later when each individual order is processed. Available only when creating a Product.	No values are required for this license type.

The maximum number of times the Feature may be used.

For a Modification Product, if you use the Modify option, you can specify the amount by which to increase or decrease the number of times specified in the original license. For example, if the Modification Product is based on a Product with an Execution Count of 100, and you want set the value in the Modification Product to 150, enter 50. Alternatively, if you want to set the value in the Modification Product to 75, enter -25.

>Executions: Enter an integer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank.

>Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the value later when each individual order is processed.

Expiration Date

The date on which the license for the Feature will expire.

For a Modification Product, if you use the Modify option, you can add or subtract days to change the date specified in the original license. If you use the Overwrite option, you can specify a different date.

>Expiration Date: Click to open a calendar and select the date or enter the date using the default date format on your computer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank.

>Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the date later when each individual order is processed.

Perpetual

The license can be used an unlimited number of times and for an unlimited period of time.

No values are required for this license type.

Time period

The number of days until the license expires. The number of days is counted from the date on which the licensed Feature is first used.

For a Modification Product, you cannot use the Modify option to add or subtract days, but you can use the Overwrite option to replace the value.

>Number of Days: Enter an integer. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank.

>Specify at entitlement time: Select to specify the value later when each individual order is processed.

Specify at entitlement time

Enables the License Type to be specified later when each individual order is processed.

Available only when creating a Product.

No values are required for this license type.

3.To enable concurrency so that the Product license can be accessed over a network or when using cloud licensing, do the following. Otherwise, skip to the next step.

In this area:	Do this:
Concurrency	Select the Concurrency check box.
	In the Concurrent Instances box, specify the maximum number of concurrent instances. For a Modification Product, you can specify the number of instances by which to increase or decrease the value in the original license. >To specify the maximum number of concurrent instances allowed in the license, clear the No Limit check box and enter an integer in the Concurrent Instances box. If you select Specify at entitlement time, you can enter a default value or leave blank. >To allow unlimited concurrency, keep the No Limit check box selected. > To specify the value later when each individual order is processed, select the Specify at entitlement time check box. NOTE In a Modification Product, if you add concurrency to the license terms by clicking Modify and specifying 0 in the Add/Subtract Concurrent Instances box, one network seat will become available for consumption in the following circumstances: >The original license did not contain this Product, or >The original Product on which the Modification Product is based did not contain any Features (for example, a memory-only Product), or >The original Feature license terms were defined for local use only (no concurrency). Depending on the type of key, this network seat will be consumed from either the SL Pool of Seats or HL Pool of Seats on the Master key and will be added to the Sentinel SL key or Sentinel HL (Driverless configuration) key. (Not relevant for Net or NetTime keys) In all other cases, specifying 0 does not affect the number of seats consumed and does not change the license in the Sentinel SL or HL key.
	In the Count Each box, select one of the following to define what is to be counted as a concurrent instance for the purposes of the license. >Login: Each login request is counted as a separate instance. >Process: All login requests from the same process are counted as a single instance. >Station: All login requests from the same machine are counted as a single instance. (Default)
Accessibility	Select the Network check box to ensure that concurrency is available.

4.To enable the Feature to be detachable (relevant only for Products locked to Sentinel SL keys), do the following. For more details, see Working with Detachable Licenses. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
