This screen enables the system manager of the local system to allow or disallow access to remote license servers.

In some cases, a host on the network may need to prevent network licenses from being visible or to change the options used to discover and access network licenses provided by a license server.

To performed these tasks in the Sentinel ACC, use the following steps:

1. Open a web-browser and go to the URL http://localhost:1947/_int_/config_to.html (option: Configuration / Access to Remote License Managers).

2. This will open a configuration page similar to the following:

3. Possible actions:

    • Activate the check-box next to the field Allow Access to Remote Licenses to enable access to license servers. Press Submit to save the setting.
    • Clear the check-box next to the field Allow Access to Remote Licenses to disable access to license servers. Press Submit to save the setting.
    • The option Broadcast Search for Remote Licenses, when activated, enables a broadcast search for license servers on the local network without having to enter the address of a license server.


If the option Broadcast Search for Remote Licenses is not enabled or cannot be used in the customer specific setting, you can enter specific IP addresses or host names that should be searched for network licenses in the Remote License Search Parameters field. Please refer to the Sentinel ACC help function for more information.

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 has to be temporarily restricted or disabled, for example by blocking the relevant traffic in a firewall, by disconnecting the network cable, or by disabling the network interface. Another possibility would be to block access to the network license at the license server side.

Note that all these methods can negatively impact other functions of the system or, in the case of blocking access to a network license on the server, even the functions on other license clients.
