Counter - A data feature that can contain a count-down value
between 0 to 4,294,967,295.
(License) Template
A license template is a container of features that define your application pro-
tection strategy. The Toolkit assigns a unique license ID to every license
template created/duplicated, so that multiple licenses can be programmed
in a Sentinel Key.
Note: The license templates are created in the License Designer screen using
the License Designer Wizard . Refer to the Toolkit Help for complete
details.
A license template is typically created to secure a single application. Each
template can have multiple features to control the distinct application func-
tionality, such as the compile operation, save option, print option, and so on.
For example, AppSoft Corp wants to protect its three applications—WordEd-
itor App, Database App, and Drawing App. It will create three license
templates to protect each application. Each license template can have multi-
ple features that control the independent functionality of the application,
such as the Counter feature can control the number of times the File Save
option can be run.
Group
A group is a package of licenses (templates) that you want to program in the
Sentinel Key for your customers.

These groups can be created to meet the
packaging and licensing requirements.
Note: The license groups are created in the License Manager screen. More
information on license grouping is provided in “License Grouping” on
page 163.
