Sentinel, The Software Protection Standard
Sentinel software protection and licensing solutions have a long history helping independent software vendors protect their revenues. The Sentinel Series became part of SafeNet as part of the merger with Rainbow Technologies. For over twenty years the Rainbow Sentinel brand has been synonymous with strong software protection for developers around the world. Now part of the SafeNet Sentinel Series, Sentinel dongles and license management software continue to evolve and provide innovative solutions for independent software vendors for anti-piracy, license management and rights management of digital assets.

Today's Software Piracy Climate
Today's global net economy provides both opportunities and challenges for companies that provide software-based solutions. Although software globalization has opened access to international markets resulting in increased software sales, software piracy continues to be a major concern for the application development community.

According to the Business Software Alliance, the average annual global software piracy rate in 2001 was 40%, or the equivalent of US$10.97 billion dollars in lost revenue to software makers.

SafeNet's Sentinel product line, which includes Sentinel SuperPro hardware keys and Sentinel LM license management software, was created to address this market demand for software protection, digital asset protection and license management. Our Sentinel product line was designed solely for the purpose of meeting the needs of independent software vendors (ISV's), software consultants, and software engineers.
