Understanding the "Platform Default" Clone Protection Scheme

A clone protection scheme defines which factors are considered by the Sentinel License Manager to determine whether a given Sentinel SL key has been cloned.

Platform Default automatically applies the best clone protection scheme for the environment on which a protected application runs. In the back end, Sentinel LDK supports several different clone protection schemes to protect applications that run on physical machines and on virtual machines. These schemes are designed to accommodate a variety of circumstances. For example, schemes are available for applications that run on PCs or on Microsoft Azure virtualization platforms. New schemes are added periodically as environments are added and evolve.

For more information, see "Platform Default" Clone Protection Scheme.

NOTE   If you have migrated from Sentinel LDK-EMS to Sentinel EMS, you may have Sentinel SL keys for which specific clone protection schemes were specified. For information on individual clone protection schemes, see the Sentinel LDK Software Protection and Licensing Guide for Sentinel LDK-EMS .
