Master Wizard Functions

This section describes the functions performed by the Master Wizard and the machines on which the Master Wizard must be run for each function.

The Master Wizard performs one or more of the following:

>Download vendor-specific APIs and the vendor library

The wizard downloads vendor-specific APIs and the vendor library from Thales servers. These are generated individually for each Batch Code and are used by Sentinel LDK Envelope and Licensing API to implement license enforcement.

Run the Master Wizard on each machine where you have installed Vendor Suite.

Run the wizard before you start working with Sentinel LDK-EMS. Thales recommends that you run the Master Wizard after each new release of Sentinel LDK.

>Generate customized RTE installers

NOTE   To generate the customized RTE installers for Mac and for Linux, use the Windows version of the Master Wizard.

The wizard downloads Run-time Environment (RTE) installers from Thales servers and customizes them on your machine. The Master Wizard customizes the installers by embedding your vendor library and the server address for Sentinel EMS or Sentinel LDK-EMS.

The installers are saved to:

%UserProfile%\Documents\Thales\Sentinel LDK <version>\Redistribute\Runtime Environment

These installers can be distributed to:

• Customers who require the Run-time Environment to access protection keys.

• (Under Windows) Customers who will use the Sentinel LDK-EMS Customer Portal to activate or update licenses.

Run the Master Wizard on any machine where the Sentinel LDK launcher is installed.

Thales recommends that you run the Master Wizard after each new release of Sentinel LDK or of the Run-time Environment.
