Perpetual license introductory bulletins

  • Sentinel HASP License Introduction

    Trimble Business Center and Trimble RealWorks software use the Sentinel HASP licensing software and drivers to manage license information. There are two primary types of licenses: software and hardware.

  • Dongle Licenses

    A dongle license for Trimble Business Center and/or Trimble RealWorks software is a USB key that plugs directly into a workstation PC and provides a single-seat license to the local workstation PC.

  • Online Activation for Network or Software License

    A Trimble Business Center and/or Trimble RealWorks software network license is installed through a 19-digit product code that writes a permanent KeyID with licensed feature information on a server or PC’s hard drive.

  • Offline Product Code Activation

    There are two offline activation approaches: using the Sentinel Admin Control Center (SACC) or using the HASP Remote Update System (RUS). Both processes use the same general workflow to activate a product code.
