How does the Sentry Hardware Lock protect my application?
When a protected application is run on a system, it will search the computer’s I/O ports for a Sentry hardware lock. If the Sentry hardware lock is attached it will communicate to the software. If the Sentry hardware lock is not attached to the computer’s I/O port, the software application would receive a specific error. It is primarily up to the developer to determine what sort of action to take when this error occurs. (like the software won’t run, software runs in a limited mode, etc.
