The activation/update procedure is similar for both software and hardware keys. The steps of the procedure are similar to steps of new license installation (see 3. New license installation), but differs in two aspects:
on the step 2, for license key activation/update, select the Update of existing protection key option instead of the Installation of new protection key option;
if you have more than one license key installed on your local machine, the Select HASP key window will appear after you click the Collect Information button:
In this window, you will have to select a key which needs to be activated or updated. If you have concerns about which license key to choose, use the Sentinel Admin Control Center to know exactly the features/structure of each available key.
5. License deletion
Software license (HL) key
Peculiarities of deletion of software licenses that are used by VIT:
Keys
Description
Deletion
SL-Legacy or SL-Legacy Provisional
Created via Sentinel SDK 5.x or even older versions. Such keys are not provided by VIT anymore.
Is possible only by low-level formatting of the disk. Also, if you extend the volume of your logical disk, there will be a risk of losing your SL-Legacy Provisional key.
SL-AdminMode (including the Unlocked licenses, i.e. the demo licenses)
Created via Sentinel LDK 6.x or later versions. Can be installed as certificate files into a specific directory only if Sentinel LDK Run-time is installed. Also this environment must be running when you generate a c2v file with the fingerprint of your machine hardware (that fingerprint is needed for full-featured license key installation and operation). The licensing information (feature counters, see Working with VIT licenses. Detailed Guid) are located in secured storage on your computer.
Is possible by deletion of certificate file from your computer. However, only the key will be deleted, while all the license counters tracking information on restrictions will stay in secured storage on your computer. If you return the certificate file back to the directory, the key will be fully restored, and its counters will keep on tracking information from the point where they stopped due to key deletion (time restrictions will keep on tracked and counted, even if the key is absent).
To delete the SL-AdminMode key, delete the corresponding *HASP_key_id*_provisional.v2c file from the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK\installed\*Vendor_id*.
For the changes to be applied, restart the Sentinel LDK License Manager service or your computer. If you don’t do that, the changes will not be applied at once, but in 5-10 minutes.
Hardware license (HL) key
As a licensing information storage, the hardware key can be formatted.Section contents
