Custom Clone Detection for Virtual Machines

You can define a custom clone protection scheme that includes one or more criteria that you select from the table that follows.

Criteria	Notes
CPU	CPU information
Ethernet address	MAC address
FQDN	Fully Qualified Domain Name
VM generation ID	Attribute of a Windows VM that helps to prevent misuse of a VM snapshot
IP address	IP address
Machine ID	Motherboard (on a PC) or Android serial number (or Android first boot if serial number is not available)
Security Identifier (SID)	Security identifier (Windows) or machine ID (Linux)
Custom Identifiers	Custom identifiers (maximum two) that contain proprietary values provided by a custom fingerprint library. See Custom Clone Protection Scheme with Custom Fingerprint Library for more information. NOTE   Custom identifiers supported by the custom fingerprint library are available only with Sentinel EMS or the Sentinel License Generation API and are not supported in Sentinel LDK-EMS.

You also specify how many of the selected criteria must match when the License Manager validates the license. For example, you can select six criteria from the table, but specify that only three of the six must match in order to validate the license.

In Sentinel EMS, you assign a name for each custom scheme. This simplifies the process of reusing the custom scheme for additional Products.
