Case Study
TEXA Protects Software and IP with Thales Sentinel Licensing
TEXA, an Italian manufacturer of diagnostic tools for vehicles and machinery, adopted Thales Sentinel Licensing to protect its software and intellectual property from piracy and unauthorized access. Seeking stronger copy protection and ease of use, TEXA implemented Sentinel HL dongle licenses, allowing offline operation without internet connectivity. Sentinel’s encryption tools, including Sentinel Envelope and Data HASP, secured algorithms and trade secrets while simplifying installation for users. The implementation was completed within months, enhancing security, reliability, and customer experience. TEXA continues exploring Sentinel’s software-based licensing for future scalability and advanced capabilities.
