When the licensed application is run on a client, a request is sent to the License Manager for obtaining an authorization. You program your application to look for a License Manager with available licenses. Refer to License Loading Behavior on RMS License Manager Restart for details. Once the License Manager is stopped these licenses are lost. The dynamically added licenses are only available in the License Manager memory. Otherwise, these are added dynamically to the License Manager. On startup, the License Manager reads the licenses from the file and creates a license table. Usually the licenses reside on the License Manager in a license file. It is an integral component of the network licensing schemes that can be implemented with Sentinel RMS, namely server-locked licenses, site licenses and commuter licenses. The RMS License Manager usually runs on a computer within the network where users (clients) have installed the licensed application (refer to the diagram below for an illustrated view).

It keeps track of all the licenses and handles requests from network users who want to run your application, granting authorization to the requester to allow them to run the application, and denying requests when all licenses are in use. Sentinel RMS License Manager is an on-premises network service that enforces and manages licensing in multi-user environment. License Manager (also referred to as "Server")
