(v13) Replacement V2C files

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP. Applies only to RIPs using LDK security.

For cases where the LDK activation completes at the EMS server but a key is not created, you may be sent a replacement V2C (Vendor-to-Customer) file containing data to update a Sentinel protection key on the end user's computer). You should use one of the following procedures to apply the replacement V2C file:

1. If you are using Windows, use either the LDK Tool or the ldkutil command-line tool.
   • If this is the initial activation, select New License > License this computer > No internet access > Create (to create a fingerprint file) and then Save the file. Select OK to remove the “Saved file” message and ignore the message about copying the file to a computer with internet access, just click OK. When the “Locate V2C file...” message displays, locate the V2C file you have been sent and click Select.
   • If the activation is to update an existing key, select Update License > Update for this computer > No internet access. Select the key ID and save the file. Ignore the message about copying it to a computer with internet access and click OK. When the “Locate V2C file...” message displays, locate the V2C file you have been sent and click Select.
2. If you are using Linux or macOS, you must use the ldkutil command-line tool.
   
   

Whether you are performing an initial activation or updating an existing key, use:

ldkutil.exe -apply -i <V2C>
