Datamed® License Keys
There are 2 types of hardware license keys that you may encounter:
- Sentinel HL Pro keys are short and purple. These keys are used for production and test servers.
- Sentinel HL Time keys are longer and black. These keys are normally used for demos but in rare cases they may also be used for production servers.
When adding new licenses, the license key must be updated. After the update all Datamed® software should be restarted, however the server does not need to be rebooted. Instructions for updating the license key are on this page.
License Key Installation
The license key is properly installed and recognized by the system when the end of the key illuminates. You can easily check the status of the key using the Admin Control Center which is part of the Sentinel driver package. This is accessed through a web browser: http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html. Correct installation may also be verified using the Windows Device Manager utility. The entry for the Sentinel HL key should be listed as “SafeNet Inc. HASP Key” under Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
License Key Updating
As described above, the license key contains all of the licenses for a specific installation. If licenses need to be added or changed that is done using a license update file. The file will be generated by Datamed LLC and sent to the technician who has access to the server. To apply the license the technician will open a browser to “http://localhost:1947/_int_/checkin.html” and browse to the file.
