SentinelSecurity Pro authenticates your license through an OAuth connection with your Sentinel Suite account. No manual license key entry is required.

- Click the Connect to Sentinel Suite button
- The Sentinel Suite login page will open in a new tab
- Log in with your Sentinel Suite account

- You will be automatically redirected back to the WordPress admin panel, and authentication is complete
After Authentication
Once authentication is successful, the License Management screen will display:
- License Status: Active / Expired / Not authenticated
