After specifying the above details, the Wizard prompts you to specify the members of the group. Click Add to add a member.

Enter the Name of the Member, then select User or Machine and select Included or Excluded to specify whether the member is allowed or not allowed to run the application.

Once a feature has been defined, you can define another group to use that feature. To add a new group select Add from the Group menu. Do not add the same users or computers to different groups using the same feature.

Click Save to save the settings: a reservation file 'lsreserv' is created in the My documents folder 'C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS Development Kit\Tools'.

Copy the 'lsreserv' file into the RMS folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\AVEVA Licensing System\RMS' and rename it ‘lsreserv_AVEVA’.

To save the file directly into the RMS folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\AVEVA Licensing System\RMS\', click Save As.

Or

If you copy the reservation 'lsreserv' file to a folder other than the RMS folder, an environment variable must be set, that is Variable Name = LSRESERV_AVEVA and Value = The folder path to the lsreserv file. For example 'C:\AVEVA\AVEVA Licensing System\RMS\Testing\lsreserv'.

Once the environment variable has been set, restart the License Server using the AVEVA License System Console.

The number of licenses reserved for the particular feature can be viewed using the Sentinel RMS License Manager Administration tool.

If you run a RMS secured program, for example AVEVA E3D Design, which has been reserved and its usage restricted, the following error message is displayed.
