Network Sentinel HASP keys
The Network Sentinel HASP key (red dongle) can be shared between several hosts running CHARON-AXP including the host on which the network license is installed.
If CHARON-AXP is installed on the host where the network key is connected, no additional steps are required. The Sentinel driver is activated as part of the CHARON-AXP installation. If the host does not have CHARON-AXP installed, the host can still distribute the connected network license to CHARON-AXP instances running on other hosts. In this case the Sentinel driver must be installed on the host manually.
The Sentinel run-time driver is distributed as a separate RPM package in the CHARON-AXP kit. Please see the "471924900License installation" section of this chapter for details.
Once the Sentinel run-time driver is installed and the network license is connected, CHARON-AXP can be started on any appropriate host on the LAN network segment. In the current CHARON-AXP/VAX versions, a network license controls the maximum overall number of active instances, which can be distributed across client host systems according to the preference of the customer.

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" checkbox and press the "Submit" button to apply this setting:
To disable access to the locally installed license key from remote hosts, switch to the "Access from Remote Clients" tab, uncheck the "Allow Access from Remote Clients" checkbox and press the "Submit" button to apply this setting:

Accessing Sentinel Admin Control Center from remote hosts
By default, the Sentinel Admin Control Center forbids accessing its web interface from remote machines.
To allow access, configure the ACC for remote management:
In this cannot be done using the WEB interface, edit the "hasplm.ini" file:

Allow remote access by changing the "ACCremote" parameter from "0" to "1", make sure the parameter "bind_local_only" is set to 0 (the value 1 means localhost-only) then restart the Sentinel Admin Control Center run-time:

(or for RHEL 6.x: # service aksusbd restart)
If the CHARON-AXP host firewall is blocking remote access to the Sentinel Admin Control Center, please configure the firewall to open the port 1947 (TCP protocol). Refer to the Linux documentation for details on how to configure the firewall. It is also possible to use SSH port forwarding with the following command (replace "CHARON_MACHINE" by the real CHARON-VAX host name):
