Customizing User Messages

You can customize end-user messages that are displayed during program run-time, after the Sentinel protection key and the protected software have been distributed to your customers. Sentinel LDK Envelope provides a comprehensive set of error codes, each mapped to a corresponding end-user message.

The User Messages screen contains the following information:
