Supported Locking Criteria
Sentinel RMS supports the following hardware and software-based license locking criteria on different platforms.
NOTE From Sentinel RMS v9.7 onwards, Linux ARM operating system is supported.
Criteria | Hex | Description | Windows | Linux | Mac | Solaris Sparc | Solaris x86 | AIX | HPUX | Android | Linux ARM |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ID PROM (0x001)
Processor serial number or ID |
NA | 7 | NA | NA | |||||
IP Address (0x002)
|
NA | ||||||||
Disk ID (0x004)
Value derived from the hard drive volume serial number (operating system assigned) on Windows. For non-Windows, Disk ID is the value derived from system directories and their I-Node values. |
NA | ||||||||
Host Name (0x008)
Name of the host |
NA | ||||||||
Ethernet Address (0x010)
Unique Ethernet card ID |
1 | 1 | NA | ||||||
Computer ID Key (0x080)
Hardware protection device |
9 | 2,9 | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |
Hard Disk Serial (0x800)6
Value derived from the hard drive (software vendor assigned) serial number |
10 | 3 | 8 | 4 | 4 | NA | NA | NA | NA |
CPU Info String (0x1000) Refer to: |
NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | ||||
UUID (0x2000)
Refer to: |
3 | NA | NA | 3 | NA | NA | NA | NA | |
Standard Custom (0x100)
Defined by your application |
|||||||||
Extended Custom (0x400)
Defined by your application |
(Recommended) |
1 Multiple NICs are not supported on Solaris currently.
2 Computer ID Key is supported on Ubuntu from Sentinel RMS v9.3.0 onwards.
3 Root/administrative privileges are required to obtain locking information for this criteria.
4 The kstat library (libkstat.so) must be present on the Solaris system and the kstat command must obtain the hard disk serial number.
5 License locking for IPv6 addresses is not supported. Consequently, the locking code generators (like, echoid and rcommute) cannot generate IPv6-based locking codes even if the LSTCPIPVER environment variable is set to 6 (means IPv6). In the case of a dual stack system, IPv4 locked licenses will be supported in IPv4 as well as IPv6 mode.
6 Sentinel RMS does not support hard disk serial as a locking criterion for virtual machines.
7 IDPROM returns the value of the host id. If host id is not found, then the hexadecimal equivalent of the IPV4 address of the machine is returned.
8 For Hard Disk Serial, the supported physical interconnects are AIX, SATA, SCSI, ATAPI, and Apple Fabric.
9 When Computer ID key is used as the sole locking criteria, the lock code is not verified when the license is loaded onto a standalone or network server.
10 In the case of
version 10.0.0 or earlier, same privileges must be used for obtaining Hard Disk Serial-based fingerprints and using the licensed applications. From 10.0 onwards, there is no such limitation.
