Overview

Since we have implemented Sentinel (formerly HASP) hardware licensing, its usage and setup have generally been “magical” for the user. Install the program, plug in the key, and it just works.

...

Use this when you have relatively few clients to connect to a remote License Manager or if there is a limitation preventing use of the advanced methods.

Step One

Install one of our products as usual. This will install the Sentinel LDK License Manager as well. 

  • Launch a web browser and open the Sentinel Admin Control Center: http://localhost:1947
  • Click on “Configuration” in the left-hand navigation menu.
  • Choose “Access to Remote License Managers” in the tabs across the top.

Step Two

Configure the Remote License Search Parameters 

  • For every licensing host, add its IP address. Only enter one IP address per line. 
    If the remote license host is on a system with a dynamic IP address, you may enter a fully qualified domain name (e.g., “server.domain.local”). Keep in mind that the client needs to have continuous access to the DNS server(s) responsible for the domain (e.g., “domain.local”).
  • Press the “submit” button to save changes. It may take a couple of minutes, but the local client should find the license keys on the remote systems.

...

If you want to enable the license update service on a server system, you will need to install one of our products. This will not consume a license. Once the application and service are installed, the only other test is to make sure that your Internet filtering software/hardware or firewalls do not block outbound connections to license.thinkcei.com.

NOTE: This post concerns licensing for CEIs on premise products. Multi-user Database Access for ProWrite and FormPro are capabilities controlled by the type of license purchased not the concurrent licensing model CEI uses in all but Hosted/Cloud products. As of October 1, 2016 all ProWrite subscriptions will be Cloud (named user) or Enterprise (concurrent). Enterprise will then be the only ProWrite product with the above described licensing options.
