Hello Erik,
Thanks for raising the concern.
This error usually comes when LDK Java interface fails to find the LDK Licensing API library (.DLL/.so).
Please put your vendor specific hasp_windows(_x64)_XXXXX.dll and HASPJava(_x64).dll in the JRE/bin folder. You can collect these files from below location after master key introduction.
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Gemalto\Sentinel LDK 7.9\API\Runtime\Java
Please share the results upon trying.
Best Regards,
Parth Kaushik
