Sentinel Rights Management Product FAQ
What Platforms does Sentinel UltraPro support?Sentinel UltraPro supports Apple Macintosh, IBM AIX, Linux Redhat, Microsoft Windows, and Sun Solaris. Sentinel UltraPro 6.3x supports cross-platform deployment for applications on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh with the Sentinel UltraPro USB key. How do you support "Try-Before-You-Buy" demo licenses with UltraPro?You can set up try-before-you-buy license models with the Sentinel UltraPro shell program (Automatic Protection), or by using the API. In either case you have the ability to select the criteria for your trial period. For example you can base the trial license on time, a fixed number of executions or a set expiration date. When the trial license expires you can remotely update the Sentinel UltraPro key with additional trial licenses or upgrade them to a fully functioning application. What is the Implementation Time for Sentinel UltraPro?The time it takes to implement Sentinel UltraPro varies depending on the time you have in your development schedule, the level of expertise of your development engineers, the type of security and license models that you plan to implement, and the number of applications you need to protect. Using the Sentinel UltraPro Shell option you can protect an application in 5-15 minutes on average. Using the Sentinel UltraPro API you can implement protection in one day; more complex implementations require additional programming. To speak with a Security consultant to find out more about estimating the integration time go to the Contact Us section of this page. How do I get started with Sentinel UltraPro?We offer a Sentinel UltraPro Evaluation Kit that you can use to test the creation and implementation of software protection with a Sentinel hardware key. Our starter pack includes the software and 10 keys. How is Sentinel UltraPro sold?We sell the Sentinel UltraPro Developer's Kit and hardware keys initially as a 10 pack. Subsequent charges are for the hardware keys only and volume discounts apply to the key purchases. What Platforms does Sentinel LM support?Sentinel LM supports the following platforms: Apple Macintosh, HP-UX, IBM AIX, IBM AS400, Linux Redhat, Linux SUSE, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft WinCE, SGI Irix, Solaris Intel, Solaris Sparc. How do you support "Try-Before-You-Buy" demo licenses with Sentinel LM?You can set up try-before-you-buy license models with Sentinel LM through the Sentinel LM Shell program (wrapper) or by using the API. In either case you have the option of setting the trial license based on a parameter that is applicable to your application such as a set amount of time or a pre-defined date. When the trial license expires you can upgrade the license remotely and enable additional trials or upgrade the license to a fully functioning application. What is the Implementation Time for Sentinel LM?The time it takes to implement Sentinel LM varies depending on the time you have in your development schedule, the level of expertise of your development engineers, the number of applications you are protecting, and in particular, the type of security and license models that you plan to implement. If you use the license models that are provided out-of-the box it will be a shorter development effort. Using the Sentinel LM Shell you can wrap your application in 5-15 minutes. Using the Sentinel LM API the implementation can take from 3-15 days or longer depending on your implementation. To speak with a Security consultant to find out more about estimating the integration time go to the Contact Us section of this page. How do I get started with Sentinel LM?We offer a Sentinel LM Evaluation Kit to allow you to test drive the application before you choose to implement it with your software. For information about obtaining a kit go to the Contact Us section of this page. How is Sentinel LM Sold?We sell the Sentinel LM Developer's Kit based on a metered model or an enterprise model, with annual software maintenance. A separate per-key charge is applicable for CID keys. Why Sentinel?Sentinel has been securing applications from piracy for longer than any other software protection vendor. International Data Corporation's independent research shows that Sentinel is the market leader worldwide for software license authentication tokens. Sentinel UltraPro is the most secure with the highest level of flexibility for the developer. Over 35 million applications are seamlessly protected and licensed with Sentinel hardware keys. Sentinel LM has been touted as the most cost effective way to securely license an application with a software-based solution. Sentinel LM's functionality rivals the competition with license models, implementation options, and supported operating environments.
