    • "Please Note that if you attempt to run a Sentinel Key protected application in standalone mode via a remote client (Terminal Server, VNC, WinXP remote client...), the software protected with Sentinel keys will not allow this for security reasons. You will need to run the software while directly logged into the machine."
