Everything you need to know is presented in an easy-to-understand manner in ephemeral messages. See what's happening with just a glance while ensuring nobody else does.
» Instantaneous Searching
Pull up a customer's license from their license key, Discord, email, or any other platform whenever you want. Need to find all of a customer's licenses? That's easy.
» Precise Editing
Change any detail of a license at any time. Blacklist a license, reset the IP addresses it has been used on, or extend its duration... all at your fingertips.

Keep track of what changes are being made to licenses and who is executing such actions. All license updates, including successful/unsuccessful authentication attempts, are recorded in log files, Sentinel's console, and customizable Discord channels.
» Customizable
Simple customization options that make Sentinel feel like yours. Add different platforms, change product defaults (like automatic mode, maximum servers/IPs, and logo), and modify Discord message formats.
...and so much more.

- Response Encryption: Encrypt all of Sentinel's API responses to deter tampering. Don't worry; our wrappers have built-in decryption functions to save you the hassle.
- Sub-Users: Associate licenses with unlimited sub-users from any platform. Discord-based sub-users may receive a customizable role. Learn more about what sub-users are on Sentinel's wiki.
- Real-Time Discord Role Tracking: Discord users will always have the correct product roles whenever a license with Discord-based connections is created/deleted/updated.
- Rate Limits: Ultra-customizable token-based rate limits. Allow 200 requests per 5 minutes, 3,000 requests per hour... it's up to you.
- API Users: Create unlimited API keys with varying permissions. A "client" key may only be able to authenticate licenses, but an "admin" key can can get, create, edit, and delete licenses. Completely customizable.
- License List Pagination: Sentinel's API and Discord bot can output lists of licenses for a specific product in record efficiency through paginated responses, even if you have thousands of customers.
- Inactive Server/IP Purging: Automatically remove inactive servers and IP addresses so they do not unnecessarily take up slots on a customer's license. Reduces how often you will need to provide license "resets". Toggleable and customizable!
- MongoDB Storage: Data is securely and efficiently stored in and retrieved from your own MongoDB database.
