Getting Started
New to our Sentinel solutions? You will find all the guides you need to get up and running quickly. The guides cover step-by-step instructions on how to set up your products in Sentinel EMS, and how to provision, consume, and manage licenses across the various License Deployment Modes. Although Sentinel EMS is the common component, you also need to read the guides that are relevant to the license enforcement solution you are implementing in your applications – either Sentinel RMS or Sentinel LDK. The enforcement technology choice would have been recommended to you based on your needs and requirements. If you are not sure which enforcement technology you are using, please refer to the order emails you received from Thales, or contact us.
