License Meter Key

NOTE   The RMS License Meter Key is supported only on Windows and Linux.

The license meter key is a hardware token that must be attached to the system on which licenses are generated. The license meter key is available in parallel port and USB form factors and is shipped along with the Sentinel RMS installer.

The meter key must be attached to the parallel or USB port of your computer, depending upon the type of key. The Sentinel System Driver, the device driver for accessing meter keys, is automatically installed when you install Sentinel RMS.

NOTE   If you decide to turn over the license generation activity to your distributors, you will require a meter key for each distributor. Optionally, a meter key can contain a pre-programmed meter counter to limit the licenses generated.
