Software licensesThe CHARON-AXP Software License is a "virtual" key with exactly the same functionality as the hardware dongle.
The CHARON-AXP Software License does not require any hardware but it requires installation of the Sentinel run-time environment.
Software licenses are always network-wide on Windows, so they behave the same way as Network HASP keys.
| Warning |
|---|
Software Licenses are highly dependent on hardware configuration of CHARON host. Do not change hardware configuration since it leads to disabling of installed Software License! If CHARON host has to be upgraded use the following procedure:

Multiple licenses configuration and backup license
For any type of licensing, CHARON-AXP can use only one valid ("active") license (of given vendor code) at a time.
The "HASP View" utility displays a range of available licenses, but note that by default CHARON-AXP may use any of them as the "active" one - unless it is directly specified by the "license_key_id" parameter (see below). The utility provides the license numbers and ID / IP addresses of the hosts where the licenses are installed.

CHARON-AXP cannot:

The general recommendation is to avoid usage of multiple keys in one network segment. Use only one locally installed license per host or one network license per local network segment containing several CHARON-AXP hosts.

When needed, it is possible to use a special parameter in the CHARON-AXP configuration file to specify exactly which license must be used by each particular instance of CHARON-AXP:
| Parameter | Type | Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| license_key_id[N], N=0 or 1 | Numeric | A number (decimal Sentinel key ID) that specifies regular (N=0) and backup (N=1) license keys to be used by CHARON-AXP. Example:
It is also possible to specify both regular and backup key in one line. Example:
Depending on the presence of the regular and/or backup license key IDs in the configuration file, CHARON-AXP behaves differently:
|
This parameter also specifies the license which will be used as backup if the active license expires.

Sentinel Admin Control Center
General Description
The Sentinel Admin Control Center (ACC) is the web-interface to the Sentinel run-time environment. It allows the viewing and managing of any available keys, enabling and disabling them, controlling usage of remote keys etc.
...
Disable remote keys access A helpful feature of 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 and uncheck the "Allow Access to Remote Licenses" checkbox. Then press the "Submit" button to apply this change:
To disable access to the locally installed license key from remote hosts switch to the "Access from Remote Clients" tab and uncheck the "Allow Access from Remote Clients" checkbox. Then press "Submit" button to apply this setting:

Deinstallation is needed only in case if Sentinel run-time has been installed. If Sentinel HL in "driverless" mode has been used (see above) no specific deinstallation is required. Just disconnect the key from CHARON host.
