How to Backup and Emulate Safenet Sentinel Ultra Pro Dongle for Free
If you have a Safenet Sentinel Ultra Pro dongle and you want to make a backup or emulate it on another computer, you may be interested in this article. Here we will show you how to use some free tools to dump the dongle memory and convert it to a DNG file that can be used by a dongle emulator.
Before we start, you need to make sure that your dongle is plugged into the computer and that you have installed the latest Sentinel drivers (v5.41 or later). You also need to download the following tools:
- SproDumper.zip: This is a free tool that can read data from your Safenet Sentinel SuperPro or UltraPro dongle and save it to a BIN file.
- bin2dng.exe: This is a free tool that can convert the BIN file to a DNG file that can be used by a dongle emulator.
- Sentemul2010 64 Bit.exe: This is a free dongle emulator that can run the DNG file and emulate the dongle on your computer.
Now, follow these steps to backup and emulate your Safenet Sentinel Ultra Pro dongle:
- Extract SproDumper.exe from SproDumper.zip and run it as administrator. Wait until it finishes the work and check for the result files sp_*.dat in the same folder.
- Run bin2dng.exe as administrator and select the sp_*.dat files. Click "Convert" and wait until it creates a DNG file in the same folder.
- Run Sentemul2010 64 Bit.exe as administrator and click "Install driver". Then click "Load dump" and select the DNG file. Click "Start service" and wait until it says "Service started".
- Now you can run your software that requires the Safenet Sentinel Ultra Pro dongle without plugging it in. Enjoy!

Why would you want to emulate a Safenet Sentinel Ultra Pro dongle? There are several benefits of dongle emulation that can make your life easier and save you money and time. Some of them are:
- You can protect your original dongle from damage, loss or theft. Dongles are small and fragile devices that can be easily broken or misplaced. If you lose your dongle, you may not be able to run your software until you get a replacement, which can be costly and time-consuming. By emulating your dongle, you can keep it in a safe place and use the DNG file instead.
- You can access your dongle remotely from any computer. Dongles are usually attached to a specific computer or port, which limits your mobility and flexibility. If you want to use your software on another computer, you have to unplug the dongle and plug it into the new one, which can be inconvenient and risky. By emulating your dongle, you can share it over the network and access it from any computer that has the emulator installed.
- You can test your software with different dongle behaviors. Dongles are designed to provide security and licensing features for your software, such as expiration dates, feature levels or encryption keys. Sometimes, you may want to test how your software reacts to different scenarios, such as expired dongles, invalid keys or missing features. By emulating your dongle, you can modify the DNG file and simulate different behaviors without affecting the original dongle.
As you can see, dongle emulation can offer you many advantages over using a physical dongle. However, you should be aware that dongle emulation is not legal in some cases, especially if you don't own the original dongle or if you violate the terms of use of the software vendor. Therefore, you should always check the legality of dongle emulation before using it and respect the intellectual property rights of the software developers.
