Defining an Unlocked Product

An Unlocked Product is derived from a Base Product, and can be used as the following:

>Unlocked Trialware Product: Unlocked Trialware Products have a maximum time period of 90 days. This Product that can be used as trialware, or during a grace period. These do not require a locking type, since they can be activated and used for a limited period without a Sentinel protection key. This period can be set to begin either from the date of first use of the application or the from the date that the license was generated. (The Unlocked Trialware Product was formerly referred to as a Provisional Product.)

>Unlocked Unlimited Product: A Product that does not lock a protected application to a specific machine and does not necessarily impose any licensing restrictions on the use of the protected application. (The Product can be granted a perpetual license or can be limited to any length of time that you choose.) With this license type, you can use Sentinel LDK to protect the application, but can use a different mechanism to license the application (or can impose no license restrictions on the application).

In an Unlocked Product you can define:

>Features

>Memory data

When you define an Unlocked Product, the Features from the Base Product are automatically incorporated in the Unlocked Product. You can modify the license duration for each Feature. You can also add or remove Features. In addition, you can define memory segments and their data (see Managing Default and Dynamic Memory Data for details).

1. Open the Create Unlocked Product page, if it is not displayed. Show me how

a.Open the Products tab (Catalog > Products).

c.Select the Base Product for which you want to create the Unlocked Product, click , and select Unlocked. The Create Unlocked Product page opens.

2.In the Name box, enter a name for the product (must be unique in the batch, maximum 50 characters). The name is case-insensitive, so Trial, TRIAL, and trial are considered identical.

3.(Optional) Click the Add Description link and add a description to the Product (maximum 510 characters).

4.If you need to change the locking type, you must first remove all the Features from the Product Features list. Then, in the Locking Type box, select the protection level for the Product:

SL User mode	The Product can be supplied with stand-alone Sentinel SL keys only.
SL Admin mode	The Product can be supplied with network Sentinel SL keys only.

5.(Optional) Enter Ref ID 1 and Ref ID 2 (maximum 250 characters). You can enter information that identifies the Product in a different system, for example, a Product code in your company's ERP system.

6.Add Features to the Product, as needed:

a.Click Add Features. The Add Features to Product dialog box opens.

b. Select the Features to add, and click Add Features to Product. The associated Features are displayed in the Product Features tab.

c.For each Feature, select one of the following to specify if the Feature can be excluded or is always included when generating an Entitlement:

Always included	Ensures that the Feature is always included in the product when generating an Entitlement.
All	Sets all Product Features in the list to Can be excluded.
None	Sets all Product Features in the list to Always included.

7.To specify the license terms for an individual Feature, click the Configure link corresponding to the Feature. For multiple Features that require the same licensing details, you can specify the licensing terms at one time. Select check boxes for multiple Features, and click the Configure button at the top right corner of the pane.

8.In the Configure License Terms dialog box, you can define the following terms for Unlocked Products:

Unlocked license type	>Expiration Date >Perpetual >Time Period
License Terms	>Expiration Date after which the license expires (if you selected Expiration Date). >Number of Days until the license expires (if you selected Time Period). NOTE   If the duration is 1 to 90 days, the Product is called Unlocked Trialware Product. If the duration is more than 90 days, the Product is called Unlocked Product.
Accessibility	>To enable remote desktop access in the license, select the Remote Desktop check box. >If the Feature for which license terms are being defined is in a Product that can only be locked to a Sentinel SL key, and you want to enable the Feature to be active on a virtual machine, select the Virtual Machine (SL) check box.

9.When you finish defining the Product details, save the Product:

To save the Product as a Draft	Click Save as Draft.
