Sentinel Keys Screen

 To get to the Sentinel Keys screen, click on the corresponding menu item or access the URL http://localhost:1947/_int_/devices.html directly. A screen similar to the following opens and displays the available license keys:

For Sentinel drivers version 7.60 and above, this screen looks similar to the following:

This page displays important information about the available licenses, including

  • Location: Shows whether the license is local or remote. If the license is a network license, the hostname of the remote system is specified. You can access the remote license manager by clicking on the hostname, provided that access is permitted.
  • Key ID: The unique identification of the license.
  • Key Type: Hardware keys are marked by the abbreviation HL (hardware license) and a picture of the license dongle. Software licenses are marked by the abbreviation SL (software license). 
  • Sessions: Shows the number of active sessions opened for the specific key.

The buttons on the right-hand side can be used to retrieve more information about the license or to extract the C2V file for a license update. The Browse button shown for network licenses will connect to the remote license manager to show the license features.

A C2V file can only be extracted if the license in question is local to the current license manager, i.e., the license manager to which the web browser is connected. You can connect to a remote license manager by clicking on the hostname in the Location column (if connections are allowed).


Please note:

  • The option to create a C2V file is not available in older versions of the license software.
  • Starting with ACC version 7.60, the option to create C2V files for USB dongles is only available if it has been enabled in the basic configuration section (under the Configuration menu item).
  • Newer versions of ACC also offer the option to create a fingerprint for a new SW license.
  • Some newer versions of ACC show the option on this screen to create a DEMOMA fingerprint. This is a demo key for development purposes and not relevant for Charon products.
  • Some newer versions of ACC offer to create a fingerprint for a software license if such a license does not exist yet. Do not use this option. The resulting file has a format that is incompatible with the Stromasys license creation tools. Instead use the tools described in Generating C2V and Fingerprint Files.

The menu options ProductsFeatures and Sessions on the left-hand side provide the same information as the buttons. However, they show the information for all licenses.
