Sentinel HASP

Scope

OpenLM supports monitoring for a wide and growing variety of license managers.
This guide describes how to configure OpenLM to interface with Sentinel HASP, monitor license usage, and obtain license statistics.

OpenLM supports Sentinel HASP versions 5.0 and higher. Versions 4 and below are not supported.

Requirements

To query Sentinel HASP, ensure:

1. OpenLM Server is installed on a machine in your organization.
2. OpenLM Broker is installed on the same machine as the Sentinel HASP license manager (recommended for full monitoring capabilities).

Monitoring capabilities

The following monitoring capabilities are available for Sentinel HASP through OpenLM Broker:

• Denials reporting: Yes
• Report resolution: By minute
• Borrowed license reporting: No
• Expiration date reporting: No
• Multiple server redundancy support: No
• Token license support: No

Option 1: OpenLM Server only

In this option, OpenLM Server queries Sentinel HASP remotely.

Limitation: Only license totals and usage are available (no denials, logs, or advanced data).

Adding a Sentinel HASP server

1. Open the EasyAdmin interface.
2. Navigate to Start → Administration → License Manager Servers.
3. Click Add LM.
   
4. Enter a descriptive Display name.
5. From Type, select HASP.
6. Enter the Hostname and Port (default: 1947).
7. Set the Time Zone for the license server’s location.
8. Enable Triad configuration: Off (not supported).
9. Use Broker:
   • Off (default) – Server queries HASP directly.
   • On – Requires Broker (see Option 2).
10. (Optional) Enter a Vendor name to distinguish reports.
11. Click Save.

OpenLM Server should now be able to display Sentinel HASP usage in EasyAdmin.

Option 2: OpenLM Broker

Configuring OpenLM Server (EasyAdmin)

1. Open EasyAdmin → Start → Widgets → License Manager – Servers.
2. Go to Servers pending approval.
3. Double-click the HASP server with status = Pending.
4. Enter a display name (e.g., HASP).
5. Enable the toggle and click Approve.
