Demo license installation (Linux)

The demo license (“Unlocked license” in terms of Gemalto) is a SL AdminMode key which is automatically activated when the protected application is launched. Demo license keys differ from full-featured software license keys in the way that they do not get locked to computer hardware and can be installed on any number of servers. When the demo period expires, you have to activate your demo license (thus upgrade it to full-featured license) or contact your manager with request for demo period extension.

As a part of every protected application's distribution package, VIT usually provides:

  • the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment, which is crucial for license keys operation;

  • the demo license key, which allows testing of protected product's functionality; usually, the demo period lasts 30 days.

Manual demo license installation

In case you need to manually install the demo license, you need the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment to be previously installed on your machine.

From the VIT's side, you will be provided with the software demo key. It is represented by a file with v2c extension. To apply this file on your machine, execute the commands listed below (as a root user): 

  1. (go to the directory which contains the environments and additional scripts/utilities): 

    cd /"path"/  
    1. for 64-bit system:

      /usr/local/bin/hasprus_x86_64_EOAWT u /usr/local/share/hasp-eoawt/demo_license_filename.v2c
    2. for 32-bit system:

       /usr/local/bin/hasprus_EOAWT u /usr/local/share/hasp-eoawt/demo_license_filename.v2c

If 0 is returned, the installation was successful.
