# Getting Started - About Sentinel® RMS and License Codes

Sentinel RMS is the software toolkit that your vendor used to license the application, you are using. The licensed application uses the RMS license to keep the license agreement you have with your vendor. It can authorize, monitor, and report the application use. However, these capabilities are provided depending upon the application and details of your license agreement.

The application first checks with the license to verify if the use is permitted by the license agreement. If the use is authorized, the application is allowed to continue. Else, either the application exits or the user is placed into a queue to wait for authorization.

Permission may be denied because someone else is already using the application, or the license has expired, or no license is installed.
