Undocked Keys
Contents
When using hardware key licensing, the software licenses needed to run LAW are provided on encrypted Sentinel USB keys, called license keys. CloudNine can also provide encrypted USB keys that do not contain licenses. These are called undocked license keys. The purpose of an undocked license key is to temporarily hold licenses checked out from the license key, so that licenses can be used on a second computer. A typical use of undocked keys is to furnish a laptop with the licenses necessary to conduct onsite discovery operations.
Undocked license key are generated from the LAW Profile Manager, where you specify which licenses to checkout, and the length of time to check them out. When the licenses are ready to be returned to the original license key, the licenses are reclaimed from the LAW Profile Manager using the Reclaim Undocked Key(s) menu selection. For more information about the LAW Profile Manager, see LAW Profile Manager.
Sentinel USB license keys, undocked license keys, and the functionality for generating and reclaiming undocked license keys in the LAW Profile Manager are only available with hardware key licensing. For more information about licensing, see LAW Licensing.
There are two sources of undocked keys: •Undocked keys can be purchased from CloudNine. For more information you can contact CloudNine. •LAW 4.0 license keys and Z-Print keys can be reused as undocked keys after upgrading to LAW 5.0 or above.
