2. Go to **License Managers → Add License Manager**.  
3. Enter the port number and select **Sentinel SuperPro** from the **LM Type** dropdown. Select **Add**.  
4. In the **Commands** tab, ensure the **Data Inquiry** command path is correct.  
5. Go to the **Vendors** tab → **Add Vendor**, enter **Sentinel SuperPro**, and select **Continue**.  
6. Select **Save**.
