        <p>Sentinel RMS is the software toolkit 
 that your vendor used to license the application, you are using. The licensed 
 application uses the <a href="#What">RMS license</a> to keep the license agreement you 
 have with your vendor. It can authorize, monitor, and report the application 
 use. However, these capabilities are provided depending upon the application and details of your license agreement. </p>
        <p>The application first checks with the license to verify if the use is 
 permitted by the license agreement. If the use is authorized, the application 
 is allowed to continue. Else, either the application exits or the user is placed 
 into a queue to wait for authorization.</p>
        <p class="SFNT_Note">Permission 
 may be denied because someone else is already using the application, or 
 the license has expired, or no license is installed.</p>
