Many software vendors will convert a Sentinel hardware lock to a software license file (.lic) for a small administrative fee. Contact the original vendor (if they still exist). This is the safest "new" way to remove the dongle dependency.

No backup dongle was purchased. The single existing dongle cannot be risked in a traveling engineer’s laptop. Companies seek a new clone as a hot standby. sentinel+dongle+clone+new

For mission-critical industrial PLCs (e.g., Siemens or FANUC) using Sentinel, professionals are turning to FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) clones. A device like the Teensy 4.0 or STM32F4 is flashed with custom C++ firmware that mimics USB endpoint descriptors perfectly. This is the "new" gold standard for reliability, but requires a Master's degree in reverse engineering. Many software vendors will convert a Sentinel hardware

A dongle is a small hardware device that plugs into a computer and serves as a form of software protection. Dongles are used to prevent software piracy by acting as a physical key that must be present for the software to function. They can contain a unique identifier or a cryptographic key that the software checks for before allowing use.

Dongles are considered highly secure because they are difficult to replicate or circumvent. They are commonly used in industries where software is critical and expensive, such as in engineering, graphics design, and professional audio/video editing.
