Allow Detaching

Specifies if the feature's license is detachable, meaning that the license can temporarily be removed from a pool of network seat licenses and attached to a remote recipient machine. (Relevant only for products locked to Sentinel SL keys)

A detachable license expires after a specified time, after which the license is automatically returned to the pool of network seats.

You can also cancel the detachable license on the recipient machine to return the license to the pool of network seats before the license expires.

To enable detaching:

> Enable Concurrency and Network Term must be set to Yes.

>Concurrent Instances must be set.

 

Before using a detached license to run an application on a recipient machine, the Sentinel LDK Run-time Environment and vendor libraries must be installed. For details on creating a Run-time Environment Installer that automatically installs these components, see the relevant guide on the Sentinel LDK landing page.

For information on detaching a license from the network, attaching a license to a recipient machine, and canceling a detachable license from a recipient machine, see help documentation in Sentinel LDK ToolBox, the Sentinel Licensing API, or Sentinel Admin Control Center.

Remote Desktop

Specifies if end users can access the protected application from multiple remote desktops simultaneously.

To allow remote desktop access AND limit the number of concurrent processes:

>Set Enable Concurrency to Yes.

>Specify the number of Concurrent Instances allowed.

To use Remote Desktop with Station counting:

>Every SSH shell counts as a single station even if multiple SSH shells originate from the same client machine. For example, two SSH shells that originate from the same client machine count as two stations.

>Multiple instances of the protected application executed in a single SSH shell count as a single station. For example:

executing applications with "&"

multiple screens (for example, using the Linux screen command)

multiple jobs from PowerShell
