Sentinel RMS uses industry standard cryptographic algorithms to implement shared secret challenge response to prevent common attacks. For added security and portability, you can also lock your software licenses to a SafeNet hardware key. Software license security can be easily adjusted at fulfillment time if needed, without having to incur any additional development costs.

Multiple Software License Activation Options

Sentinel RMS provides you with the capability to implement a range of options in order to speed delivery and ease fulfillment.

Sentinel RMS makes web-based licensing easy, so your customers can select, purchase, register and activate products all online. In addition, embedded client activation allows the complete license transaction, including installation, to be executed over the Internet with no user involvement required.
