Usage Notes
You do not need to be logged in to a Feature or Sentinel protection key in order to use this method.
This method writes update information. The update code contains all necessary data to perform the update on a deployed Sentinel protection key including:
>The Sentinel protection key on which the updated information is to be written
>The Vendor Code that is required to access the Sentinel protection key
>The actual update information
Depending on the update data, the method returns an acknowledgement code that is signed/encrypted by the update. The code is evidence that an update has been applied to a license.
This method is an extension of the main Sentinel Licensing API and is utilized by the Sentinel RUS utility to update Sentinel LDK licenses.
NOTE When this method is called, a write cycle is performed for the Sentinel protection key. Sentinel HL keys are certified to withstand a specific number of write cycles. For information on the number of write cycles for which Sentinel HL keys are certified, see the Sentinel HL Data Sheet.
