instance of a feature can be included (you will note that radio buttons
are provided against feature instances). If your distributor requires
licenses with different values (depending on the customer requirements),

group file to the distributor. Your distributor can receive the group
file, using the distributor key shipped with the earlier group.
3. Click the Program Distributor Key tab.
4. Select metering setting for your distributor:
Non-metered
Unlimited number of Sentinel Keys can be programmed by your
distributor.
Metered
Specify a value between 1 to 65535. The metering count will be
decremented by one for each license programmed.
5. Specify a File Encryption Key (FEK). Make sure that you do NOT specify
same FEK for every distributor.
You must make a note of this down somewhere so that, if required,
you can send updated group files to your distributors without programming
a new distributor key. You may also copy the FEK to clipboard,
by clicking the (Copies FEK to clipboard) icon.
6. Specify a Cheat Counter value that you want your distributors to program
in the non-RTC Sentinel Keys.
7. Attach a single distributor key you purchased from SafeNet to your
USB port/hub (it is not same as developer key or Sentinel Key).
8. Click Make Distributor Key.
9. Specify a path to write the group file (.lgx) for your distributor.
