Changes in Terminology

Sentinel Admin Control Center user interface and help files incorporate changes in terminology as follows:

• The Sentinel HASP product is now referred to as Sentinel LDK.
• SL keys that were created with Sentinel HASP Business Studio now appear in the user interface as "SL-Legacy" keys.
• References to "Sentinel EMS" in the help files are also valid for Sentinel HASP Business Studio.

Installing the Run-time Environment v.1.18

Perform the following steps to install or upgrade the Run-time Environment for Sentinel LDK or Sentinel HASP:

1. (For x64 distributions) Manually install the 32-bit support libraries (x86 compatibility packages) provided by your Linux distribution. For example: For Debian or Ubuntu, use the command: apt-get install ia32



2. Disconnect your HASP HL key (if any) from the computer.



3. Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the downloaded installation file.



4. As root, open a terminal window and enter the command: ./dinst .

   Note that the final "." in the command is required for the file location.

5. Optional: To support legacy HASP and Hardlock parallel keys, refer to the instructions in the file INSTALL inside the aksparlnx packages.



6. Reconnect the HASP HL key.

   Note: At this point, the firmware on the HL key will be automatically upgraded. During the upgrade process, the key will blink continuously. Do not remove the key while it is blinking. If you remove the key too soon, the key may no longer be visible in Admin Control Center. If the key is not visible, or if the upgrade does not occur, refer to "Upgrading HASP HL Key Firmware" below.

Uninstalling the Run-time Environment v.1.18

Do the following if you want to uninstall the Run-time Environment:

• As root, open a terminal window and enter: ./dunst

Upgrading HASP HL Key Firmware

The HASP HL Key Firmware has been modified to support future planned security enhancements in Sentinel LDK and Sentinel HASP. Sentinel LDK and Sentinel HASP automatically upgrade the Firmware on HASP HL keys from v.3.21 to the latest version (v.3.25). This occurs:

• when a HASP HL key with v.3.21 Firmware is present on a computer where the Run-time Environment is being updated to v.1.14 or later.
• when a customer connects a HASP HL key with v.3.21 Firmware to a computer where the Run-time Environment v.1.14 or later has been previously installed.

For HL keys with Firmware earlier than v.3.21, the upgrade does not occur automatically. Customers can upgrade the Firmware to v.3.25 by applying the Firmware Update V2C provided on the Sentinel HASP or Sentinel LDK Installation DVD v.5.0 and later.

During the Firmware upgrade, the relevant key will start to blink. Do not remove the key while it is blinking. If you remove the key too soon, the key may no longer be visible in Admin Control Center.

Note: In the event the key is no longer visible using the Linux Run-time Environment, do the following on a Windows computer:

1. Install the Run-time Environment using the enclosed installer script.
2. Connect the HL key.
3. Run the application FirmwareUpdate.exe, located on the DVD in \Windows\Installed\Redistribute\Firmware Update\.

The HL key is upgraded to v.3.25 Firmware and will now be visible in the Linux Admin Control Center.
