Chapter 9 - Server / Division / Site Licensing
Table of Contents


You can obtain a Server or Division or Site License by calling us. We can issue licenses over the telephone. The version of the Sentinel that you are running is fully functional. All it needs is a code to "unlock" it.

Server License
A server license allows the Sentinel to run on a dedicated machine for use by as many people as are connected to it via Notes. All Tasks are queued on the Sentinel Server for running immediately or at a scheduled time.

Users can select "Run Once" to test a Task, or schedule it to run on a regular basis.

Server software can run on any of the following platforms:
Windows, Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT

Users can still use a local copy of the Sentinel to test their tasks with the 25 record limit. Once the tasks work properly, they can copy and paste the task to the Server's copy of TASKS.NSF to run that task in production.

Division or Site Licenses
A Division or Site license allows the Sentinel to run on any number of Servers and Workstations by as many people in the department or organization (site). This option allows the most flexibility, as the organization can freely copy and utilize the Sentinel for all of the various functionality.

How To Obtain a Server License
Following this example will make it clear how to obtain a server license:

Example: Human Resources
In this example, we have a human resource database with name, address, city, state and zip, along with other information such as special courses taken, manager's name, job title, etc. The database has not been updated for address in over one year. The company has over 2,000 employees, so it is a difficult manual process.


We have been in Development Mode for one month, showing Human Resources how the finished application will look with real data. The director of Human Resources is thrilled. He wants to go into production with your application as soon as possible. You can move into Production Mode today!
