>The corresponding library is Sentinel RMS licensing library.
Description
NOTE From RMS v9.5 onwards, query version 1.1 has been introduced to support license hard limit up to 4,294,967,294. This is applicable to license version 20 and above. The SNTL_QUERY_XXXX_XXXX_LATEST macro is introduced to extract the latest version for any of the query types. Refer to licensing.h (included with your Sentinel RMS installation) for the exact macro name.
Syntax
String getInfo (String scope, String query)Version Compatibility
Prior to Sentinel RMS v9.5, you had to manually enter the query version at the time of compiling the application. For example, SNTL_QUERY_FEATURE_INFO_VERSION(v); where 'v' represents the query version for the installed SDK.
From Sentinel RMS v9.5 onwards, we have introduced macros for automating this task. When the application is compiled, it automatically takes the latest query version from the header file that is used. For example, for the license info query, when you compile your application using the SNTL_QUERY_LICENSE_INFO_LATEST macro, the latest query version is automatically entered by the application.

1.0, 1.1
|
The available system fingerprint information of the supported locking criteria. The fingerprint information can be: >Hashed values - Hashed values are used for registering fingerprints in the Sentinel EMS Customer portal. To obtain hashed values, use the fingerprintInfo query version 1.0 or 1.1. >Raw values - Raw values are used for generating locking codes as required in Sentinel RMS traditionally (see lockCodeInfo query). To generate raw values: •Use the latest version 1.1 of the fingerprintInfo query, introduced in v9.2.0. •Set the <rawValue> tag in the query as Yes. |

| libraryInfo
|
1.0 | The information about the licensing library. | ||||||||||
| lockCodeInfo

1.0 |
Introduced in v9.2.0, the lockCodeInfo query allows generation of locking codes. The locking code can be generated for a: >Specific machine - Specify the fingerprint XML of the target system under lockCodeInfo scope XML. >The current system - If the fingerprint XML is not provided, the locking code is generated by fetching the fingerprints of the given system. For details, see Case A and Case B in Locking Code Information. Note that if multiple instances of a locking criteria are present on a system, the locking code is generated for the first instance only, without enumerating through other instances. For example, if a system has multiple Ethernet cards, locking code is generated for the value available at the first index of the fingerprintInfo output or system. |
