Over 35 million applications worldwide are protected by SafeNet's Sentinel™ hardware keys. Sentinel has been setting
the standard for software protection since 1984 and secures more clients worldwide than any other key.
Sentinel keys are hardware tokens integrated into an application via our software toolkit. The key is then distributed
with the software application to the end users. The protected application checks for the presence of the key during
runtime to ensure that the software usage is authorized and the parameters of the license agreement are enforced.
The value of software and the ease with which it can be digitally duplicated has led to widespread piracy. As computer
usage grows, so does the potential for software piracy. Unfortunately, it is occurring at a staggering rate.
Sentinel hardware keys ensure that application developers are able to protect their valuable intellectual property
and prevent revenue leakage from piracy. For further information on piracy and curtailing the impact of piracy with
software keys, please read our whitepaper.
Sentinel UltraPro
Sentinel™ UltraPro keys protect against revenue leakage so you receive fair compensation for your software development.
Use of the AES public algorithm protects against hacking and further defense is provided against driver replacement
and debugging tools. UltraPro also thwarts record and playback hacks through the auto-generation of large query tables.
Licensing flexibility provided by UltraPro allows you to reach new markets, leading to increased revenue. Pre-built
license models include feature-based, evaluation and pay-per-use. A range of features, such as Business Layer APIs™,
speed development time, allowing you to reduce costs and quickly respond to customer needs.
To begin evaluating UltraPro, request the SDK.

Multiple Form Factors
SafeNet realizes the importance of application developers providing options for end-users and continues to support a
variety of form factors. Sentinel UltraPro is available in USB, parallel port and low profile parallel port
(ISA or add-on PCI adapter cards) hardware keys with the same program library.
Easy and Quick to Implement
You can integrate the hardware key with your application using the UltraPro Business Layer APIs™: pre-configured,
higher level APIs for popular license models such as subscription, evaluation or pay-per-use licensing. These tools
typically reduce the programming time required to secure a new application by up to 60% or more compared to other
hardware key solutions.
Licensing can also be implemented with the Sentinel Shell that can wrap your application in minutes, even if you don't
have access to source code.
Multiple Development Environments
UltraPro provides you with the ability to protect applications created in numerous development environments. Sample code for the most
popular application development environments is also provided, such as Microsoft .NET, Microsoft Visual C++,
Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Delphi, C Builder, GNU GCC, and Metrowerks CodeWarrior to get you started on custom applications.
For complete technical specifications, please download the
UltraPro product brief. Please contact us if you don't see
your development environment listed.
Sentinel UltraPro keys are also available fully compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive,
well in advance of the compliance deadline of July 1, 2006. For more information, please visit our
Sentinel Green Initiatives web pages.
One Programming Effort -- Multiple Utility
License configuration can be altered at the fulfillment stage by your order administration department without requiring
further development changes. Additionally, you can securely assign the fulfillment and upgrade of your keys to your
distributor or reseller. With UltraPro you can support your application on multiple operating platforms with a single
development effort, further reducing development time and cost.
