# Setting User Alerts

An alert lets you know about license events, such as when a license reaches its expiration date. Sentinel RMS allows you to generate the following seven alerts:

- Soft limit exceeded
- Hard limit reached (the maximum number of licenses allowed)
- License issued
- License returned
- License denied (occurs on the next request after the hard limit has been reached)
- License time-out
- License expiration date reached (an expired license is loaded to the License Manager or a license expired due to passage of time)

Alerts are most frequently used with a network License Manager. This capability is also available, however for a stand-alone license application.

The alert reporting mechanisms are:

- E-mail
- Script

You can specify/configure alerts through a simple file interface.

### Tip:

If script mechanism is ON, and there is no SCRIPT statement in the same section, script mechanism will be turned off. If email mechanism is ON, and there is no EMAIL statement in the same section, email mechanism will be turned off.
