Format: echoid
Description: echoid communicates with the Multi-User Sentinel Key that is located on the parallel port. It will display a "Locking Code". This code can be any combination of letters and numbers. For example, 80-23C5D. echoid will only establish that the Sentinel is present, functioning properly and that it is the correct Sentinel key to be working in conjunction with the license code string. The locking code displayed should be matched with the locking code in the license code string.
See lsdecode for information on displaying the locking code within the license code string.
NOTE: If the "Locking Code" displays 0-0, be sure that the parallel ports are not disabled in the BIOS. The port should be set to anything other than EPP. If echoid returns a 0-0 on two machines, it is most likely a bad Sentinel Key.
