Sentinel SuperPro, a predecessor to Sentinel HL, is a historically leading anti-piracy and license management solution. It provides robust security and flexible licensing through its programmable hardware keys (dongles). Many specialized engineering and vertical market software applications continue to rely on the Sentinel SuperPro License Manager (SuperProNet) for network control.
OpenLM provides a solution for monitoring Sentinel SuperPro usage and retrieving statistics from the license server. OpenLM Sentinel SuperPro monitoring ensures that your most securely protected, high-value software assets are tracked efficiently, maximizing availability and ensuring compliance.
Sentinel SuperPro’s strength lies in its use of a physical hardware key to securely protect software.
The Sentinel SuperPro License Manager refers to the system, including the software driver and the Sentinel SuperProNet component, which manages network licenses. The security keys were designed for customized security and licensing management.
SuperPro supports diverse license models and deployment options:
Note: Sentinel SuperPro has been succeeded by the Sentinel HL product family, which is fully backwards compatible and offers a simpler migration path to the modern Sentinel LDK solution.
OpenLM provides essential monitoring capabilities for the Sentinel SuperPro License Manager by interfacing with the server’s tracking mechanisms. This provides visibility into this traditionally difficult-to-track hardware-based license pool.
| OpenLM capability | Value for Sentinel SuperPro licenses | Supported by OpenLM |
| License inventory | Provides reporting on the total number of licenses owned and features available. | Yes |
| Real-time usage monitoring | Tracks license usage activity on the network, supporting monitoring to track license usage. | Yes |
| Idle session detection and harvesting | OpenLM can identify idle applications and automatically close them (harvesting) to maximize the availability of concurrent licenses. | Yes |
| Denials reporting | OpenLM provides advanced reporting on license denial events. | Yes |
| Remote administrative actions | OpenLM provides capabilities for remote management of the license manager service. | Yes |
| Borrowed/Detached licenses | OpenLM’s current documented integration with Sentinel SuperPro does not directly support tracking borrowed licenses. | No |
OpenLM is the necessary tool for providing a modern visibility layer over your legacy Sentinel SuperPro deployment, optimizing usage and supporting your eventual migration to modern platforms.
