A trial key is always a software key and may only be used locally.
To enable using local software on a rental basis, STC leverages Time hardware and software keys. To enable
using network software on a rental basis, STC leverages Net Time hardware and software keys. Time/Net Time
keys have built-in real-time clock, so that as soon as the rental period is over, the key locks the access to the
software or some of its features.
To enable using local software on a permanent basis, STC leverages Pro hardware and software keys.
To enable using network software on a permanent basis, STC leverages Net hardware and software keys.

To get a trial version, contact STC sales team. A product lead will then provide you with the relevant
installation package and an .exe file containing the HASP SL Trial key.
You can use a trial key for 90 days since the software has been run for the first time.
Install the STC licensed software by unpacking the installation package and the setup.exe file it contains, and
then following the installation wizard instructions.
Once the software has been installed, make sure the HASP Driver is working by checking whether the
Sentinel License Manager service is running.
To activate a trial software version, folow the instructions on installing a trial key. These instructions may

Run the Command Prompt as administrator by clicking Start > All Programs > Accessories, then right-
clicking Command Prompt and selecting Run as administrator. Alternatively, you can just type cmd into
the search box after opening the Start menu.

15
INSTALLING LOCAL HASP
HASP Keys
Installation and Configuration Guide
For offline activation, you will be supplied with the RUS Branding utility a .txt file with the product
key consisting of numeric and alphabetic characters. The RUS Branding utility and the .txt file may
be included into the installation package or sent via email (depending on the product you
purchased).
The RUS Branding utility handles the c2v and v2c files performing the following steps:
•Creating a c2v (customer to vendor) file. This file
contains the snapshot of the computer the software key is linked to.
•Applying v2c (vendor to customer) file. The .v2c file
contains the software key itself which can be activated only on the computer you have taken
snapshot of (.c2v file).
Before offline activation, install the pre-requisites and the product using the installation CD. Make
sure the Sentinel License Manager service is running.
To perform offline activation, follow the steps below:
1. Create a .c2v file using the RUS Branding utility on the computer you are going to install the key
to.
2. Move the c2v file to a computer which has internet connection. Upload the c2v file to the
License Server through the Customer Portal. Once there, create a .v2c file which will contain the
software key for the product in question.
3. Apply the .v2c file you got on the computer you have taken snapshot of (c2v file) using the RUS
Branding utility.
4. Using the Sentinel Admin Control Center web app, check whether the software key you have
just installed is active.
