Implementing Cloud Licensing

NOTE   Sentinel LDK Cloud Licensing requires a paid subscription for the Cloud Licensing module. Although SL and HL keys with concurrency may technically be used over the cloud in some cases with some configurations, this is not by design, and Thales cannot guarantee acceptable security or reliability for such a setup. The only supported configurations for cloud licensing in Sentinel LDK require the paid module and the integration of identity strings or, with Sentinel EMS, the integration of machine accounts or user-based licensing.

This section describes how to implement cloud licensing in Sentinel LDK.

Cloud licensing can be implemented using one of the following methods:

>Using Cloud Portal

Sentinel LDK Cloud Portal is used to managed identity strings. For details, see Cloud Licensing Using Sentinel LDK Cloud Portal.

>Using Sentinel Admin Control Center

Using Sentinel Admin Control Center to manage licensed users is described in the following topics:
