Overzealous security software can flag the Sentinel background services ( hasplms.exe ) as false positives. Step-by-Step Solutions to Fix the Error
The "Sentinel Key Not Found" error occurs when AutoData’s licensing system (SafeNet/Sentinel USB dongle) fails to communicate with Windows 10. The software requires a physical hardware key (HASP/Sentinel) to run, but Windows 10’s driver enforcement, USB power management, and regular feature updates frequently break the connection.
Sometimes the driver is fine, but the background background service responsible for reading the key has frozen or failed to start. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type services.msc and press .
Upon reboot, a list of options will appear. Press or F7 on your keyboard to select Disable driver signature enforcement .
Right-click the service again, select , and change the Startup type to Automatic . Click Apply and OK . Step 3: Configure USB Power Management Settings
: Unplug the USB key, run the cleanup tool, reboot, install the fresh driver, and then plug the key back in. 3. Adjust System Settings for Autodata
Windows power management may disable the USB port holding the physical key.
Windows 10, being the secure fortress that it is, often blocks these older kernel-level drivers because they lack a valid digital signature. It treats the dongle driver as a potential threat, leaving Autodata blind to the key sitting right there in your USB port.
Before moving to advanced solutions, perform these quick checks:
Restart your computer, plug the USB key back in, and launch Autodata. 2. Restart the Sentinel Local License Manager Service
If these steps fail, your USB dongle may be physically damaged, or you may be using a 32-bit version of the software on a 64-bit OS without the proper 64-bit driver bridge. Ensure you have downloaded the Sentinel drivers if your Windows 10 is x64.
Test Autodata. If it opens successfully, your system is running an unsigned legacy driver emulator that Windows 10 blocks during a standard, secure boot. Step 6: Check for Antivirus False Positives
