Installing License Codes
SentinelLM System Administrator’s Guide 7
You use the SentinelLM echoid utility to get the computer’s locking code. Your
application vendor will provide you with instructions telling you what the lock-
ing code requirements and procedures are.
Sometimes your vendor will ask that you provide two different locking codes for
a computer. This can be done to allow you to change the configuration of that
computer sometime in the future.
Your vendor may have provided a Computer ID key. This key must be installed
before you can produce a locking code.
From the operating system command prompt, type:
echoid
Write down the locking code or codes displayed by echoid. You can use echoid
on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, or UNIX computer. For details on
echoid, see “echoid - Get a Computer’s Locking Code” on page 79 of “Chapter 5
- Administrator Commands.”
Installing License Codes
Once you have been given a license code it must be installed where it can be
found by the license management system. For a stand-alone application, the
license code is installed in the same directory as the application. Your vendor
may provide a program to install the license code. Or your vendor may have con-
figured the protected application to install the license code. If neither of these is
the case, then the lslic SentinelLM utility may be used to install the license code
on a Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000, or UNIX computer.
If your vendor has configured the application itself to install the license code,
when you run the application and a valid license is not found, a license installa-
tion utility will guide you through obtaining a license code and getting a locking
code. You may be presented with several different options for obtaining the
license code, including using the Internet, calling your vendor on the telephone,
or using a fax or e-mail service.
