Appendix D – Optional Hostid Installation Instructions

Certain hostids in the RLMID family (RLMID1) require device-specific installation on the target computer. These instructions must be passed on to your customer’s license administrator in order for them to use the device. The RLMid1 device is a hardware key manufactured by SafeNet, Inc.


Installing RLMid1 Devices on Windows

Installation on a target system can be accomplished in two ways:

  1. Windows automatic installation, OR

  2. Use the RLMID1 driver installer (from the Reprise Software website) to do the driver installation.

Plug the USB device into your computer. Windows will search for and install the drivers automatically.

If for some reason Windows fails to update the driver automatically (usually because the target system is not connected to the internet), use the driver installer located at:

RLMid1.zip

Note

This download requires login from the Reprise website.

The driver can also be found on the SafeNet site.

Unzip the installer and run it on the target system.

Note

An RLMID1 device can be used by any RLM-licensed application on the system, in other words, there is nothing ISV-specific about the device.


Installing RLMid1 Devices on Linux

To install the necessary drivers for RLMid1 devices on Linux, you will need the Sentinel HASP/LDK Runtime Installer for Linux. At the time of writing this, instructions can be found here:

The runtime installer sets up a daemon that is used to access the hardware key.
