Description

The license can only be used on the machine on which it was installed. A machine-locked license can be combined with any of the licensing business models in this guide.

Implementation 1—Locking to a Sentinel SL key

This model is applicable when a Sentinel SL key provides sufficient security for your needs.

1.Select and implement the required licensing business models.

2.Distribute your software using a Sentinel SL key. Sentinel SL keys are always locked to a specific machine.

Implementation 2—Combined locking to both a Sentinel SL key and a Sentinel HL key

This model is applicable when you want to lock your software to a Sentinel HL key for enhanced security, and also wants to use a Sentinel SL key to lock your software to a specific machine. The Sentinel SL key will require remote activation.

1.Select the executable file that you want to license, and determine two Feature IDs by which it will be identified. One Feature ID will be used to lock the license to the Sentinel HL key, and the other to lock the license to the Sentinel SL key and the machine.

2.Select your protection method:

•For combined Envelope-based and API-based automatic implementation
Protect the executable file using Sentinel LDK Envelope , specifying one of the Feature IDs. In your code, insert a Sentinel Licensing API Login call to other Feature ID.

•For API-based automatic implementation
In your code, insert Sentinel Licensing API Login calls to both Feature IDs.

3.In Sentinel EMS, create two Products, one for each Feature ID. Define the license terms for both Products—for example, an execution-based license or a time-limited license.

4.Burn a Sentinel HL key for one of the Products and provide an EID for activating the other Product with a Sentinel SL key.

5.Distribute your software with both Sentinel protection keys.
