Sentinel Installer

The Sentinel RMS License Manager is installed through an executable package known as the Sentinel Installer. You can obtain this installer from the link below:

Note

NOTE: Starting with LAW and Explore 7.10, we updated the licensing manager to work with the Thales Cloud licensing system.
If you are installing LAW or Explore 7.9 or lower, then you will need Sentinel RMS license Manager 8.6.0.
If you are installing LAW or Explore 7.10 or higher, then you will need Thales's Sentinel RMS 10.2.0
Both can be found in the Software Download Center
