Step 1: Determining Your Key Serial Number
If you already know your key serial number, please skip to Step 2.
If you would like to upgrade to the new Sentinel key type, you must first determine your key serial number. This number identifies your key, and is used to establish the eligibility of your license for a key exchange. If your key serial number is greater than or equal to 22000 then you already have a Sentinel USB key and it doesn’t need to be replaced unless it is physically broken.
Method #1: Run ZEMAX and press the F10 key. Disregard the numbers in front of the hyphen when using this method. The serial number is shown circled in red in the example below.
Method #2: The serial number may be handwritten or engraved on the key. The number circled in red is the serial number in the examples below.
