About Remote Update Actions
To be able to update Sentinel Keys and distributor keys in the field, you must
define the update actions under the Add Actions tab of the Update Manager
screen.
Actions contain one or more commands grouped together, so you do not have
to select the commands individually when generating update codes. The
various commands are described in “Action Types” on page 157.
When you generate an update code, the actions you select are encrypted
into the update code specific to the selected hardware key. When the update
code is entered in the Secure Update Wizard or Secure Update Utility, the
actions and commands are applied to the key.
Note: The task of adding remote update actions is not a part of license designing
stage. You can add actions even after deploying your protected applications
when the customer/distributor sends a request code.
Action Types

Sentinel Key.
Updating the feature settings—like an execution date, execution
count and so on—in the Sentinel Key.
