Introducing the Sentinel LDK License Configuration Helper Service. This new tool I’ve created uses registry values and/or XML files to configure the client-side Sentinel LDK License Manager (hasplms) service, which updates the configuration in the License Manager Configuration File (hasplm.ini) found under the “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP” folder on a 64-bit Windows machine. It achieves the same outcome as using the Configuration option from the Sentinel Admin Control Center (ACC) web interface via http://localhost:1947.
Deployment
Implementing a fully automated unattended build process
The methodology I use for deploying and managing Citrix XenApp solutions has proven very successful over the years.
To maintain a homogeneous environment conducive to stability, utilisation of a well-defined and automated server build process is a best practice. Automated server builds can save countless hours when deploying new servers, rebuilding a problematic one, or addressing test requirements. A server build process is based on building servers from initial hardware configuration through to application installation and configuration. In most of my cases this is heavily used for Citrix XenApp rollouts.
