Defining Entitlement Type and Other Details

This section is relevant only for LDK Products/Entitlements.

Specify the Entitlement details, depending on whether the Entitlement relates to Product Keys, Sentinel HL keys, or license updates for existing Sentinel protection keys.

Product Key

Select this option to associate the Entitlement details with one or more Product Keys. When you select this, the following fields appear:

• Number of Product Keys: Enter the total number of Product Keys to be produced for this Entitlement.
• Activations Per Product Key: Enter the number of activations to be available on each Product Key, that is, the number of machines on which each Product Key can be used. For example, if you want each Product Key to be used on a maximum of 3 machines, enter 3 in this field.
• User Registration: In this drop-down list, you need to specify a value for whether end user registration is required. Select a value from the following:
  • Mandatory—When the end user logs on using a Product Key, he must provide registration information once before he can proceed. Once registered, he is not asked about this info for further login. If he has already registered, he just needs to provide his e-mail to proceed.
  • Desired—The end user will be prompted to provide registration information. However, he can opt to register later.
  • Not Required—The user registration page will not appear.
• If you select Prompt for Confirmation, then while installing the V2C file the Customer will be automatically prompted to return a C2V file to the vendor.

Hardware Key

This option enables you to write (burn) the Entitlement details to the connected Sentinel HL key. If you select this, the following field appears:

Number of Keys: Enter the total number of Sentinel HL keys to which the Entitlement is to be written.

Protection Key Update

Updates existing license details stored in Sentinel protection keys already deployed in the field. If you select Protection Key Update:

• Click Locate. The Locate Sentinel Keys pop-up appears (see Locating Sentinel Protection Keys for the Entitlement).

The Locate Sentinel Keys pop-up displays the total number of Sentinel protection keys selected for the Entitlement. You cannot select more keys than you specified as the total number of keys to which to write this Entitlement. You can only add the Entitlement to the production queue or produce it when the number of selected keys is equal to the number that is specified for the Entitlement.

• Select the specific Sentinel protection keys to be updated in this Entitlement.
• If you select Prompt for Confirmation, then while installing the V2C file the Customer will be automatically prompted to return a C2V file to the vendor.
