License installation

Installation from scratch

...

  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).

Replacement of currently installed Sentinel run-time

Replacement of the currently installed Sentinel Run-time can be needed in case of installation of specific run-time provided by STROMASYS.


  • To proceed, remove the current version of Sentinel run-time:

    • Login as Administrator
    • Extract the content of the unique ZIP file residing in “hasp_install” directory of the CHARON distribution to the same folder.
    • Run “cmd.exe” from the “Start” menu of host computer
    • “cd” to the “hasp_install” directory

    • Issue the following command:


      ...> haspdinst.exe -fr -kp -nomsg


    Install the other Sentinel run-time:

    • “cd” to the directory where the target run-time resides

    • Issue the following command:


      ...> haspdinst.exe -install -cm


    • “cd” to the “hasp_install” directory
    • Extract the contents of this archive "hasplib.zip" to the same directory.
    • 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

You do not need to perform this procedure for Sentinel HL keys - local and network ones (red dongle) used as local.

Installation and update of CHARON-VAX/PDP Software License or HL/HASP dongle License

...

  • 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).
       
    • Select the "Configuration" option in the left pane then switch to the "Access to Remote License Managers" tab.

    • Uncheck the highlighted options:


    • Press the "Submit" button to apply the settings

    • Switch to the "Network" tab.

    • Set the "Network visibility" to "None":


    • 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.

      Div
      classpagebreak


      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).

    Div
    classpagebreak



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

...

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.

...

Removing CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP software licenses

The following procedure must be applied to remove the software license (SL):


  1. 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.

  2. In the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC), select the "Sentinel Keys" option in the left pane and locate the target "Sentinel SL AdminMode" license.

  3. Press the "Certificates" button at the right side of the SL description:


    .

    Div

  4. Note the name of the correspondent certificate in the "Certificates" section. 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.
  6. Reboot the CHARON host.
  7. Start the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC) again to ensure the SL has been removed.
