RMS License Manager Explained

Below is an overview of the Sentinel RMS License Manager and how it works.
Both CardExchange® Producer & CardExchange® Visitor use the Sentinel RMS license manager to license the small business server editions of the application.
For CardExchange® Producer this is the Professional and Ultimate SBS editions and for CardExchange® Visitor this is the Business server edition.

The Sentinel RMS License Manager enforces and manages licensing in multi-user environment. It keeps track of all the licenses and handles requests from network users who want to run your application, granting authorization to the requesters to allow them to run the application, and denying requests when all licenses are in use. It is an integral component of the network licensing schemes that can be implemented with Sentinel RMS, namely server-locked licenses, site licenses and commuter licenses.
