Licensing Changes

For a number of years Micro Focus used the Micro Focus License System Administration for Net Express and Server Express.

In Visual COBOL, Micro Focus used two standard industry technologies for license management, Sentinel RMS and Micro Focus AutoPass. As of release 10.0, Visual COBOL supports only AutoPass licensing.

Important: The SafeNet Sentinel licensing system that was available with previous releases of this product has been deprecated and is no longer available in release 10.0. This product uses the Micro Focus AutoPass licensing technology, first introduced in release 8.0, and AutoPass is now the only licensing technology available in this product.

The SafeNet Sentinel licenses are no longer supported, and you need to use AutoPass licenses starting with release 10.0. Contact OpenText Support for Micro Focus Products to replace your existing SafeNet Sentinel with AutoPass licenses.
