FAQ Sentinel SuperPro

Question:

What is the difference between the activation types (i.e. Active, Static, and Trusted)?

Answer:

- If you choose Active, the algorithm is created active (turned ON) inside the key and the application will work (get unlocked) when the key is plugged in.
- If you choose Static, the algorithm is created inactive (turned OFF) and you will need to activate the key with a password before it will unlock the application.
- If you choose Trusted, it will behave the same as Static except that the activation password is different for every key.
