What should be the maximum memory size of the group
I can program in the Sentinel Key?
Size of the License Group: The maximum size of the group that can
be programmed depends only upon the memory size of the attached
user key. The size of the group should always be less than the memory
size of the attached user key. The memory size of the group to be
programmed in the Sentinel Key is shown in the Group Layout.
Size of the License Template: The maximum memory size of a
license template in a group must not exceed 4080 bytes.
Would you like to specify the number of
users—different from the hard limit?
Sentinel Keys come with standard hard limits (3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and
250), you might want to impose a soft-limit—known as the user limit.
The user limit restricts the number of users allowed by the hard limit. Otherwise,
the number of users allowed is equivalent to the hard limit. For
example, if the Sentinel Key hard limit is 25 and you need to allow for maximum
15 users, then stipulating a user limit equal to 15 meets your
requirements exactly.
Specifying User Limit
The user limit common (global) to a license. You can associate it with a
license template in the Toolkit.
You can specify a user limit using various options in the Toolkit (such as, at
the time of creating a template using the License Designer wizard). A
quick option, suitable for an already created template, is described below:
1. In the License Designer screen, load the template for which a user
limit is to be specified.
2. In the template layout, select a template and right-click to open a
short-cut menu.
