Attention
- To establish the connection to the Sentinel License Server the UDP Port 5093 for incoming and outgoing connections needs to be enabled for the Firewall of the License Server; for the Windows Firewall the Port is automatically enabled by activating the corresponding option in the installation program of the License Server.
- For Network Licenses the operating systems listed on the System and Hardware Requirements: License Server page can be used.
- Internet access is required for the computer/server on which the licenses are managed!
- If you use a 64Bit version of HiCAD (2011) the Hardlock can no longer be used as selector of the license file due to missing driver support!
- If you wish to use HELiOS you will also need one of the database systems listed on the System and Hardware Requirements: HELiOS Desktop page.
