License activation & update (Linux)


Goal

  • to activate the demo license (thus upgrade it to full-featured license)
    or
  • to update the current full-featured license.

License activation is a set of actions which turn your demo license into a full-featured license. Activation allows customers to fully utilize the product features that they need.

License update is a set of actions which modify the structure of your full-featured license. For example, you can:

  • add new (or exclude unused) functionality units;
  • add new products;
  • extend the product's period of use.

The activation/update procedures are the same for both software and hardware license keys.

Make sure the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment is running on your machine (aksusbd process is active).


  1. Make a fingerprint of your current license key state by executing the following commands (as a root user):

    cd /"path to the package"/
    sh get_haspinfo.sh

    As the output, you will get a file with c2v ("customer-to-vendor") extension. The file will be written to /usr/local/share/hasp-eoawt/haspinfo.c2v.

  2. Send the c2v-file you have just generated to your manager. In return, the manager will send you the corresponding v2c ("vendor-to-customer") file.

    The received v2c-file will contain the updated licensing information for your key. The file can only be applied on the machine where the corresponding c2v-file was generated.

  3. Apply your new license by executing the following commands (as a root user):

    1. for 64-bit system:

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

      /usr/local/bin/hasprus_EOAWT u /usr/local/share/hasp-eoawt/*license_filename*.v2c
  4. Restart the system.

These actions will apply new licensing information on your server. You can check the updated parameters of your license key with the help of Sentinel Admin Control Center web-application (http://127.0.0.1:1947/).
