  1. Installation of the Sentinel run-time environment on the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host (regular and network keys) or on the host that will distribute CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP licenses over a local network segment (network key only). The Sentinel software is installed automatically by CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP for Windows.
  2. Physical connection of the HASP license dongle to the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host or to the host distributing the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP license over the local network segment.
  3. Collecting the system fingerprint (*.c2v file), sending it to STROMASYS and applying the update (*.v2c file) in case of software license (and in case of updating HASP dongle license). See the details below.

When a manual installation of the Sentinel run-time is required (in the case of the network license server that does not have CHARON-AXP installed):

  1. Login as Administrator
  2. Open the CHARON-VAX/PDP kit folder
  3. Switch to the "hasp_install" subfolder
  4. Unzip the archive "haspdinst.zip" located in this folder
  5. Open "cmd.exe" and switch to the folder where the files were unzipped
  6. Execute the following commands:


    ...> haspdinst.exe -fr -kp -nomsg

    ...> haspdinst.exe -install -cm


  7. Extract the contents of this archive "hasplib.zip" to the same directory.
  8. Copy the file "haspvlib_68704.dll" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP" (in case of x64 host) or "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP" (in case of x86 host)


Info

Note that the following operations have to be performed on installation phase for network licenses:

  • On the server side (where the network license will reside): open port 1947 for both TCP and UDP
  • On the client side, if broadcast search for remote licenses is to be used, UDP traffic from port 1947 of the license server to ports 30000-65535 of the client must be permitted.
  • Both on server and client sides: setup default gateway

Please consult with your Windows User's Guide on details.

If stricter firewall rules are required, it is possible to open the ports 30000-65535 and 1947 only for the "Sentinel HASP License Manager" (hasplms.exe) service (it will be installed by CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP).

  • Install CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP together with Sentinel run-time (Sentinel run-time is an essential part of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP for Windows distribution)

  • Reboot the host system

  • In case of Software License (SL) installation and if there are already installed network-wide SL's on the local network, disable access to the network licenses in the following way:

    • Open the CHARON Virtual Machines Manager, switch to the "Host Information & Utilities" tab and press the "Sentinel Admin Control Center" button: 

      or - alternatively - go to the http://localhost:1947 page using your browser to access the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC).

    • Press the "Submit" button to apply the settings.

    • Do not forget to return these settings back after the software license installation.

  • Connect the HASP dongle to the host system (in case of update of a license located on a dongle)

  • Collect the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host fingerprint file ("*.c2v")

    Open the CHARON Virtual Machines Manager, switch to the "Host Information & Utilities" tab and press the "License Update tool" button to envoke the "License Update Service" utility:


    .

  • In the utility dialog popup switch to the "Collect Status Information" tab (opened by default) then select:

    • "Installation of new protection key" in case of Software License if no Software License has been already installed on the host.

      Example:

      .

    • "Update of existing protection key" in case of HL/HASP dongle or Software License that has been already installed on the host and needs updating.

      Example:

      Note

      When using HASP dongles, select only the "Update of existing protection key" option.

      In case of Software License use the "Installation of new protection key" option if the host does not have any Software License installed and the "Update of existing protection key" option if an already installed Software License has to be updated.


  • Press the "Collect Information" button. In the popup dialog choose the place to store the "Fingerprint.c2v" file and press the "Save" button:

    Div
    classpagebreak



  • A message should appear similar to this example, confirming the fingerprint has been collected successfully.

  • Send the ".c2v" file ("Fingerprint.c2v" in the example above) to STROMASYS


  • STOMASYS will send you a ".v2c" file in return. Put it somewhere on the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host.

  • Open up the "License Update Service" utility the way described above and open the "Apply License File" tab:

    Div
    classpagebreak


    Press the "..." button beside the "Update File" edit-box. In the popup select the license file received from STROMASYS:



    Press the "Open" button and apply the license.


  • Open the CHARON Virtual Machines Manager, switch to the "Host Information & Utilities" tab and press the "Sentinel Admin Control Center" button:


    or - alternatively - start any web browser on this system and go to the 
    http://localhost:1947 page to access the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC).


  • Ensure that the license appears in the “Sentinel Keys” menu.

...

or - alternatively - start any web browser on this system and go to the http://localhost:1947 page.


Example:

This example demonstrates that 4 license keys are available:

  1. A network key ("HASP-HL NetTime") on the host "XEON4WAYW7"

  2. A network key installed locally

  3. An HASP-HL installed locally

  4. A network-wide software license on the host "RH64"


The Sentinel Admin Control Center reports that there is one opened session on key #4. The other keys are not being used at the moment.

For a more detailed description of the Sentinel Admin Control Center, please refer to its "Help" section.

Disable remote keys access 

A helpful feature of the Sentinel Admin Control Center is the ability to disable access to remote keys. If the network key is installed locally, access to the key from remote hosts can be disabled. The following examples demonstrate how this can be done.

To disable access to remote keys, switch to the "Access to Remote License Managers" tab, uncheck the "Allow Access to Remote Licenses" check box then press the "Submit" button to apply this change:

    .. The name is in the form of <KeyID>_base.v2c
  5. Remove the corresponding certificate file in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK\installed\68704" folder.  In the example above the file to remove is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK\installed\68704\387285561437702475_base.v2c".

  6. Reboot the CHARON host.
