Configuring Sentinel LDK

Sentinel Connect introduces support for clients who are using Sentinel EMS with Sentinel LDK enforcement.

In Sentinel Connect, there are two categories of orders:

>Initial Order: Initial Orders are created for the initial purchase of a product, where a new license is generated upon manual activation. When a user places the first order, Sentinel Connect handles it as an Initial Order, triggering the creation of a new Sentinel Key.

>Update Order: Update Orders are subsequent purchases made after the initial order.

An update order is created as an additional or renewal order for an existing Sentinel Key, where the details of the previous Sentinel Key are provided. These orders are activated on the previously-used Sentinel Key. By configuring the relevant rules in the Sentinel LDK Configuration tab, the handling of update orders are automated.

The Sentinel LDK Configuration in Sentinel Connect UI is presented as easy-to-click check boxes that you select or clear according to your business logic. The configurations allow business to tailor the behavior of entitlement creation and activation.

NOTE   Sentinel LDK Configuration is supported for Salesforce only.
