Enhancements

The Sentinel HASP Run-time Environment Installer GUI is now supported under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

The Run-time Environment now supports the "Cancel Detached License" feature.

Installing the Run-time Environment

The Installer GUI detects the version of the operating system during Run-time Environment installation, before installing the relevant drivers.

By default, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 (R2) operating systems display a User Account Control message during driver installation. The user must click Continue to continue the installation. Alternatively, the user can change the default setting from the Control Panel of their operating system.

Upgrading the Run-time Environment

When using the Installer GUI to upgrade the Sentinel HASP Run-time Environment, ensure that:

No other Run-time Environment Installer is active.

No other Run-time Environment components are active. Although the installation program terminates applications that are accessing the Run-time, it does not terminate running services. For example, if the HASP License Manager is running as a service, you must stop the service before upgrading the Run-time Environment.

Limitations

When using Win32 HASP HL Envelope-protected applications using DataHASP or overlays that run on Windows x64 operating systems, you must unmap any memory-mapped files prior to closing the application to prevent possible data loss.
