What Are Alerts For?

An alert lets you know about license events, such as when a license reaches its expiration date. Sentinel RMS allows you to generate the following seven alerts:

Soft limit exceeded
Hard limit reached (the maximum number of licenses allowed)
License issued
License returned
License denied (occurs on the next request after the hard limit has been reached)
License time-out
License expiration date reached (an expired license is loaded to the license server or a license expired due to passage of time)

Alerts are most frequently used with a network license server. This capability is also available, however for a stand-alone license application.

The alert reporting mechanisms are:

You can specify/configure alerts through a simple file interface.
