Updating Distributor Key Metering Count
When the metering count on a distributor key reaches zero, the distributor
will no longer be able to program Sentinel Keys. You can increment the
count on a distributor key (and charge for doing so) in the same way that
you update Sentinel Keys in the field.
For doing so, you must add the Metering count command in the distribu-
tor key actions (see “Adding Actions For Distributor Key” on page 139) for
the license template.
To remotely update a distributor key:
1. Ask your distributor to run the Secure Update Utility, while his distrib-
utor key is connected to his system, to generate a request code.
2. Tell your distributor to send the request code to you (using an e-mail
or file).
3. Create a distributor key action type with the desired metering count.
4. Enter the request code in the Key Activator tab. The key information
is extracted from the request code.
5. Select the action created in step 3.
6. Click Generate Update Code . The Toolkit generates an update
code—specific to the distributor’s key.
7. Send the update code back to the distributor.
8. Distributor enters the update code in the Secure Update Utility. The
key is updated and the distributor can again program keys.
Creating WPS File
If desired, you can also write a .wps file for your Sentinel Key vendors. Using
the .wps file they can program Sentinel Keys in bulk for you.
To create an .wps file:
