Generating Revocation Password

The steps described in this topic are not complete steps to revoke licenses. Also, the content is relevant only for revoking network licenses. Contact your software vendor for more details.

1. Open the WlmAdmin utility.
2. Under the Tools menu, select Generate Revocation Password.

Please note that the option will not be available for use if sntlpasswdgenutil.dll is not present in the same directory as WlmAdmin. Contact your software developer/vendor if this file is not provided.

3. Specify a password—consisting of 8 to 32 alpha-numeric characters—in Enter Password.

### Tip:

You must write-down the password somewhere, as the same will be needed for setting up the License Manager for revocation. In case you forget the password, repeat the steps mentioned above.

- Click Generate. A dialog box appears prompting you to save the sntlpassword.dat file. By default, it will be saved the following location:
- On Windows Vista, 7, and Server 2008: <OSdrive>:\Users\XXX\Documents\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS Development Kit\Tools\
- On Windows XP and Server 2003: <OSdrive>:\Documents and Settings\XXX\My Documents\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS Development Kit\Tools\

- Click Save. A confirmation message appears.
- Copy the file you generated in step 5 to the License Manager's current directory. The default path for Windows NT-based systems is: <OS Drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel RMS Development Kit Server\WinNT).
- You may now revoke licenses using the steps described in the section below.
