SentinelLM System Administrator’s Guide 109
5Chapter 6 - Setting User Options
The following advanced options are available for SentinelLM users:
• Alerts
• Group allocation
An alert lets you know about license events, such as when a license reaches its
expiration date. You specify alerts using a configuration file. There are seven
alerts including hard and soft limits that can be generated. The reporting mecha-
nisms are e-mail and script. For more information about alerts, see “Setting User
Alerts” on page 109 below. Alerts are most frequently used with a network
license server. This capability is also available, however for a stand-alone license
application.
You can also use group reservations to restrict the right to run applications to
particular users, computers, or groups. For more information, see “Setting Group
Reservations” on page 115. The group reservations capability is only meaningful
with a network license server.
Setting User Alerts
You can specify/configure alerts through a simple file interface.
The alerts handled are:
• Soft limit exceeded
• Hard limit reached (the maximum number of licenses allowed)
• License issued
