Can Sentnel be used in more than once computer?

fantasma25 · Oct 5, 2018

Good afternoon to all,
Just doing a quick check to see if Sentinel can be used in more than one computer with the BCD436HP.

Thanks!

Yes. Have it installed on 5 laptops and 3 pc. So i can program my 436, sds100 anywhere

Did you need to do anything to Sentinel in order for it to be able update from Radioreference on each laptop?
Thank you for the quick response.

If you do 1 for each computer and make sure to read radio to computer(s) to make sure it is up to date.

Correct, my question is, how do I get Sentinel to be able to update from RR? Do I first need to have it read my scanner? I have Sentinel on my home PC, now I've installed it on my laptop but when I try to check for updates it tells me that the operation is cancelled.

I had that happen on one of my laptops. Deleted and reinstalled, problem went away.

Also remember to check the Master Database for updates if you haven't used that particular machine in a week or two...

This is the error message that I get when I try to update the database from RR.

Have you tried updating at a different time in case the servers were being updated? The other reasons I've seen this message pop up is from people using another language other than English on their PC or having a faulty internet connection.

If it is none of those, please try reinstalling the sentinel, and let me know if you are still having the issue.

Assuming this is a true stand-alone setup, I'd be suspicious of something not Sentinel related, but it's just showing up when you use Sentinel - if that makes any sense. It could be an internet thing, or some hardware setting, etc. Have you tried running Sentinel as an Administrator?

If both computers (laptop and home PC) are looking at the same files, something you'd do if the computers are networked some way, that network might be the issue.
