Possible values:

>DESIRED—Sentinel EMS will try to send an email. The operation will be considered successful even if the email cannot be sent.

>REQUIRED—Sentinel EMS will try to send an email. The operation will fail if the email cannot be sent.

This property is visible only when you upgrade Sentinel EMS to version 5.3.200 or later. The customer portal used in versions earlier than 5.3.200 is referred to as the legacy customer portal. For fresh or non-upgrade cases (version 5.3.200 or later), this property is not visible.

The Use Legacy Customer Portal property is used in combination with the Customer Portal URL property to determine which customer portal URL to publish in email notifications sent to customers and contacts.

Possible Values:

Yes— Keeps the legacy behavior. Email notications include the customer portal URL that was available to customers and contacts before upgrading to Sentinel EMS 5.3.200 or later.

No— Email notifications include the latest customer portal's default URL or the URL configured in the Customer Portal URL property.

Default value: Yes

The URL of the customer portal that is published in email notifications for customers and contacts (such as, the entitlement certificate email). You can use this property to specify the URL of your own customer portal (overriding the default customer portal URL).

Specifies if the functionality in the Associated Downloads pane for download management in the Sentinel EMS portal is enabled.

Possible values: Yes or No

This property is for third-party enforcements and when enabled ensures that Sentinel EMS will send the activation ID to the license generator for forced revocations. When this property is enabled, the Revoke Immediately action on the Sentinel EMS user interface will act as a custom revoke.

To configure forced revocations for third-party enforcements using this property, you can connect to Thales Professional Services.

This property appears disabled by default.

Default value: No

This property appears only when the 'Call License Generator On Revoke' property is enabled. If this property is set to "Yes" then Sentinel EMS asks for a deactivation code at the time of revoke immediately.

Default value: No

If you select this option, then after the revocation receipt is uploaded, all revocations are automatically confirmed. The software vendor does not need to manually confirm or reject the revocation.

Default value: Yes

The priority of a thread. It can be an integer between 1 and 10.

Default value: 4

The number of threads available for concurrent execution of jobs.

Default value: 5
