Display Available Licenses with Sentinel Admin Control Center
The Sentinel Admin Control Center (ACC) is available on all platforms where the license drivers are installed. It provides an overview of the available licenses and shows some important license information.
| Info |
|---|
The Sentinel ACC does not display the CHARON product details. For displaying the detailed license content, please proceed to the Linux or Windows section respectively. |
To display the licenses available on the local system with the Sentinel ACC, perform the following steps:
- Open a web-browser
- Go to the URL: http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html (if you want to display the licenses available on a remote system, replace localhost with the correct hostname).
You will see a screen similar to the following:
The sample shows a time-limited local USB key (Key Type: HASP HL Time) and a network license based on a software license (Key Type: HASP SL).
Using the actions Features (local license) and Browse (Network License), you can display the features associated with the respective license. The following example shows the output for the local, time-limited license dongle:
The feature associated with the license displayed above is an expiration date.
The following shows the features associated with a network license used as a backup or spare key. It is limited to 720 hours of runtime in addition to having a expiration time set:
Display License Content on Linux
| Note |
|---|
Local hardware licenses can only be displayed from a local connection to the system, for example via the console. If you are connected via a remote connection, for example via ssh, the hasp_srm_view command will return an error. Network licenses do not have this problem. A workaround is described at the end of the next section. |
Host-Based Emulator Products
| Info |
|---|
The commands described in this section also work on CHARON-SSP. However, CHARON-SSP has its own GUI, the CHARON-Manager, which also includes a license viewer. Please refer to the section License Management with CHARON-SSP Manager for more information. |
Host-based emulator products and license drivers are installed on standard multipurpose Linux distributions. Typically, the license content on such systems is displayed using the hasp_srm_view command.
If the command is not in your PATH variable, the full path has to be specified:
- Path to image for CHARON-AXP/VAX and standalone license drivers:
/opt/charon/bin/hasp_srm_view - Path to image for CHARON-SSP:
/opt/charon-agent/ssp-agent/utils/license/hasp_srm_view

Workaround when logged in via a remote connection:
ssh localhost <command>
When connected to the system via a remote connection, the display command will return an error. As a workaround, you can display the license contents with the following command (adapt the path of the command if your installation location is different):

Display License Content on Windows
| Note |
|---|
The local HASP key cannot be read via a remote connection (e.g. RDP). One possible workaround is described in detail in the document How to read a HASP key over RDP on Windows. It shows, how to setup a scheduled task for this purpose. |
| Info |
|---|
The hasp_view utility on Windows does not follow the settings in the Sentinel ACC with respect to querying remote license servers and network visibility. The utility finds and displays network licenses even if this has been disabled in the Sentinel ACC. If this behavior has to be prevented for specific reasons, the network access of the system must be temporarily restricted or disabled, for example by blocking the relevant traffic with a firewall, by disconnecting the network cable, or by disabling the network interface. Alternatively, access to the network license at the license server side can be blocked. Note that all these methods can negatively impact other functions of the system or, in case of blocking access to a network license on the server, even the functions on other client host systems. |
System with Standalone License Drivers
On a Windows system with the standalone license drivers installed, the license content can be displayed with the program hasp_view.
Proceed as follows to display the license content:
- Log in as a user with administrator rights.
- Navigate to the installation folder and select either the x86 or the x64 subfolder depending on which one contains the program. This depends on the type of host system.
- Double-click on the hasp_view program.
The following shows a sample output:
...

The buttons at the bottom of the window provide some additional functions:
- CHARON License Details (re-)queries the selected license key (the highlighted tab) and displays the contents.
- Refresh the key list. This is useful if a key has just been added or removed.
- Copy license details to clipboard, for example to paste into to a support e-mail.
- Exit the utility.
