Chapter 2: Installation Installing Linux Security Keys<br />
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.<br />
3. The driver is ready after you reboot your system (the installation will ask if<br />
you want to reboot your system; respond Yes).<br />
You can now re-attach the hardware security key, as described in<br />
Installing a Windows Security Key, on page 2-16.<br />
Installing Linux Security Keys<br />
Linux-based servers use a USB security key as part of their software licensing<br />
mechanism. The security key (dongle) ID is used to create the license file. Two<br />
USB security keys are supported:<br />
• Sentinel key (purple dongle)<br />
See Installing the Linux Sentinel USB Daemon, on page 2-20.<br />
• FLEXid key (green dongle)<br />
See Installing the Linux FLEXid Daemon, on page 2-22.<br />
Installing the Linux Sentinel USB Daemon<br />
To install the USB daemon (usbdaemon) which is used with the Sentinel USB<br />
security key (purple dongle), you need an rpm that is included in the <strong>Synopsys</strong><br />
<strong>FPGA</strong> software installation. After installation, the rpm is placed in the<br />
install_directory/linux/sentinel directory. Follow this procedure to install the USB<br />
daemon.<br />
1. Login in as root (you must have administrator privileges to run the rpm).<br />
2. Locate an available USB port on your computer. If a USB security key is<br />
currently connected, disconnect that key before proceeding.<br />
3. Insert the USB security key (purple dongle) into the USB port.<br />
