268 Sentinel Hardware Keys Developer’s Guide
A network application is designed to be run on multiple computers so that
several users can run it concurrently. You should attach the Sentinel Key on
a networked system, where the Sentinel Keys Server and Sentinel System
Driver are also installed.
For stand-alone applications, the Sentinel Key must be attached to each
workstation.
Network Keys
A network key allows multiple network clients to run the protected application
concurrently.
It is typically connected to a networked system running the Sentinel Keys
Server in the subnet.
The network keys are meant for the number of users defined by the hard
limit. If desired, you can program a user limit for restricting the hard limit.
One-Click License Update
It is the ability to directly update/add license to a key by just double-clicking
the .upw or .nlf file. It is a quick shortcut to apply the update/license code
avoiding a series of steps, which include opening the Secure Update Utility,
browsing the required file, and clicking Apply Code.
