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:

  1. Download the haspdinst_EOAWT.exe installer.
  2. Run the command line as a system administrator.
  3. Execute the haspdinst_EOAWT.exe -i -fi -fss command.
  4. Restart the Sentinel LDK License Manage service or restart the OS.

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

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).

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.

The demo mode of the License plate recognition VT isn't allowed on virtual machines.

To install a demo license, do the following:

  1. Download the distribution package: 25 FPS or 6 FPS.
  2. Run the command line as a system administrator.
  3. 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).
  4. Restart the Sentinel LDK License Manage service or restart the OS.

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

Before you install a hardware key, you must install the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment.

To install a hardware key, do the following:

  1. Download and install the HASPUserSetup.exe driver distribution package.
  2. Connect the hardware key to the server where you plan to use the License plate recognition VT. If the Sentinel LDK Run-time environment is successfully installed, the license is automatically recognized by Axxon One, and it is ready to use.

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

  • 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.

To install a software key, do the following:

  1. Download the RUS_EOAWT.exe.
  2. Run the command line as a system administrator.
  3. Execute the haspdinst_EOAWT.exe -fr -purge command.

    1. Update of existing protection key (1) if a demo license is already in use.
    2. Installation of new protection key (2) if a license for a "clean computer" is required, that is, if there is no demo license on the server.
  7. Click the Collect Information button (3).
  8. Save the file with the c2v extension to the required directory.
  9. Close the RUS_EOAWT.exe utility.

  10. Submit the created file with the c2v extension to the AxxonSoft manager.

  11. Get a v2c file from the AxxonSoft manager.

Removing a license

To remove a license, do the following:

  1. Delete the v2c license file from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK\installed\ folder.
  2. Restart the OS.
  • When you delete the license, only the key is deleted. All counters of license restriction remain in the secure storage.
  • If you return the key to the root directory, it will be fully restored. Its counters will continue counting license restrictions from the moment when they stopped when the license file with v2c extension was deleted. The validity time of the license continues to count down even when the key is missing.

The removal of the license is now complete.

Checking a license

You can check the current license status on the server. To do this, open the Sentinel Admin Control Center web application. The license information is displayed on the Features tab.
