Troubleshooting

If the entered activation code is not accepted:

• Make sure that you have access to internet.
• Check that the drivers and services related to the protection key have been correctly installed:
• Check if you have access to http://localhost:1947. The “Sentinel Admin Control Center” page should be displayed.
• Check if the “Sentinel LDK License Manager” (and “Hasp Loader”) services are running.
• If this is not the case, re-install the protection key drivers.

To install, re-install or update the drivers, go to the folder with the software installation files and open the Hasp folder:

Right-click and run (as administrator): reinstall_hasp.bat

Note: The file haspdinst.exe must be present, in the same folder.

 

Requesting a license update (extension):

One month before the expiry date of your license, a message will invite you to update (extend) your license as soon as possible.

When the validity of your license has expired, you will be invited to request a license update.

You will need to decide if you want to continue with:

• MountainsSPIP^®8 (you will need to return your SPIP^TM dongle and purchase a MountainsSPIP^®8 software maintenance plan)
• SPIP^TM (no further developments will be made, maintenance will cease at the end of 2020)
• Both products (requires you to purchase a MountainsSPIP^®8 license)
