Re : Is it possible upgrade protection key and master key to driverless?

Hello Diuming,

Thanks for the query.

Please find the answers below on the raised points.

Q1)Is it possible to upgrade protection key and master key to driverless?

Ans : Yes, the protection keys can be upgraded to driver-less by the help of creating a modification over the existing product. In this, we would require to select the option for "upgrade to driver-less" and then the entitlement created for that modification would be for driver-less keys.

Please keep a caution that upgrade for driver-less keys is irreversible process. Hence, the keys which are made HL-driverless can be reconverted back to driver dependent configuration.

The new Sentinel LDK Master keys are per-configured to create HL-driverless keys. However for old configuration,  you may need to do an online reintroduction to get the feature in the master key.


Q2)Do you provide some tools to do this action except Sentinel EMS?

Ans : you can alternatively use LicGen API for the same operation. The Sentinel ToolBox contains license generation  API which can be used for practicing license generation using APIs.

For upgrade to driver-less configuration, we would need to parse the respective XML while license generation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <sentinel_ldk:license schema_version="1.0"         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"         xmlns:sentinel_ldk="http://www.safenet-inc.com/sentinelldk">    <enforcement_type>HL</enforcement_type>    <upgrade_to_driverless>Yes</upgrade_to_driverless> </sentinel_ldk:license>


For better understanding, you can take refence of the API documentaion in the ToolBox > "Help".
