Sentinel Software Installation Tasks
The Sentinel HASP runtime software must be installed on every system handling licenses – be it as a Charon host server, a system for license updates, or a (non-)dedicated license server. Depending on the Charon product version the HASP runtime software may not always be required on a client system to find remote network licenses provided by a license server. However, the HASP runtime software must always be installed to take full advantage of all product features and to avoid unexpected problems.
The necessary software is part of the individual Charon emulator product installation packages. It is also provided as a standalone kit. Please refer to Sentinel HASP Runtime Software - Standalone Installation for details.

* Please note that : this is true for the individual license management tools. However, current Charon-AXP/VAX/PDP products on Windows platforms are managed from using the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) and all license management tools can normally are also be started from within VMM. This tool VMM requires administrator privileges. Also the UAC function of Windows may require the user to enter an administrator password to start a program , even if the action itself does performed with the program would not require administrator rights.
** The Charon-SSP Manager can be run by an unprivileged user. Privileged actions are performed by the Charon-SSP Agent that runs as a system process and receives the required commands from the Manager.
