Installing the license key environment
The license keys for the License plate recognition VT require the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment. It is installed automatically with the VT LPR add-on (see Installing DetectorPack add-ons).
To manually install the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment, do the following:
- Download the haspdinst_EOAWT.exe installer.
- Run the command line as a system administrator.
- Execute the haspdinst_EOAWT.exe -i -fi -fss command.
- Restart the Sentinel LDK License Manage service or restart the OS.
Note
If the environment is successfully installed, the Sentinel Admin Control Center web application opens in the web browser at http://127.0.0.1:1947/.
Installation of the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment is complete.
Installing a demo license
Attention!
Before you install a demo license, you must install the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment.
The Sentinel LDK Run-time environment and a standard demo license for searching the recognized license plates in the archive are installed automatically with the VT LPR add-on (see Installing DetectorPack add-ons).
Attention!
If you use this license, note that there is a 30-second delay between the recognition of a license plate and the occurrence of a corresponding event (see Vehicle license plate recognition and search).
With a demo license, the License plate recognition VT works for all available countries on 4 channels at 25 FPS or on 4 channels at 6 FPS. The demo license is valid for 60 days from the moment the demo key is activated.
Attention!
The demo mode of the License plate recognition VT isn't allowed on virtual machines.
To install a demo license, do the following:
- Download the distribution package: 25 FPS or 6 FPS.
- Run the command line as a system administrator.
- Execute the SDK_4hi_60d_WORLD.exe -i -fi -fss command (for a 25 FPS demo license) or SDK_4lo_60d_WORLD.exe -i -fi -fss command (for a 6 FPS demo license).
- Restart the Sentinel LDK License Manage service or restart the OS.
Note
Information about the installed demo license is displayed in the Sentinel Admin Control Center web application, on the Sentinel Keys tab.
The installation of a demo license is now complete.
Installing a hardware key

To install a hardware key, do the following:
- Download and install the HASPUserSetup.exe driver distribution package.

Note
Information about the installed hardware key is displayed in the Sentinel Admin Control Center web application, on the Sentinel Keys tab.
The installation of the hardware key is now complete.
Installing a software key
Attention!
- Before you install a software key, you must install the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment.
The license of the License plate recognition VT isn't automatically transferred to a new node in a failover system (see Configuring Failover VMS). To ensure the operation of the License plate recognition VT, you must manually activate the license on the computer where the node is running.
