to manually install the new full-featured (not demo) software or hardware license key.
Hardware license (HL) key installation
Make sure that the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment is installed on the machine where the license key is to be installed. The link to instruction on the environment installation is provided in See also block at right.
Connect the hardware key to the machine where the protected product is/will be installed. If the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment was previously successfully installed, the key will be automatically detected and protected product will be ready for use.
In case the license key is detected, you will see information about it on the Sentinel Keys tab of Sentinel Admin Control Center web-application (link: http://127.0.0.1:1947/).
Software license (SL) key installation
Before you start the new license key installation process, make sure that the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment is installed. The link to instruction on the environment installation is provided in See also block at right.
Select the Installation of new protection key option. Click the Collect Information button. This action will initiate creation of unique fingerprint of your machine's hardware. As the output, you will obtain a file with c2v ("customer-to-vendor") extension — save it on your machine.
Send the c2v-file to your manager. In return, the manager will send you the corresponding v2c ("vendor-to-customer") file. This file will contain the licensing information that allows usage of protected application only on the machine where the corresponding c2v-file was generated.
Launch the Sentinel RUS utility again. Go to the Apply license file tab. Upload the received v2c-file. This action will apply the unique licensing information on your server.
Open the Sentinel Admin Control Center web-application (http://127.0.0.1:1947/). On the Sentinel Keys tab, the information about the newly installed software key will be printed.
