Licence Types

There are 3 main licence types:

1. A dongle-free licence. Most licence files are usually dongle-free. The licence file is locked to a feature of the hardware. Both the file and hardware MUST be present on the machine. This means a dongle-free licence will only run on the machine for which it has been created.
2. A dongle locked licence. The dongle must be present on the standalone machine for the licence to run and the Sentinel drivers must also be installed.
3. An unlocked licence.

Any of these types can have a time limit i.e. SIS Desktop will be available for a defined number of days from installation. This type of licence can be used for evaluations and subscriptions.
