The Sentinel Admin Control Centre (ACC) is installed on every computer where either one of our products is installed, or the network licence manager utility is installed.
The ACC is an HTML application that enables you to manage access to software licences, to control detachable licences, to control sessions and to diagnose problems.
The ACC is accessed by browsing to the address http://localhost:1947 (localhost can be substituted with an FQDN to access the ACC installed on a remote computer).
The import sections for configuration of the ACC are as follows:
