If the Sentinel HASP driver installation fails with the message 'Running processes are accessing the drivers' on a system in which DeltaV is also installed, the cause may be a corrupted or out of date DeltaV license driver. The solution is to reinstall the SafeNet hardlock driver used by DeltaV, which can be downloaded from SafeNet's support site. Chose 'Sentinel HASP/LDK - Command Line Run-time Installer'.

After downloading the .zip file containing the driver, extract the file onto the DeltaV machine. Open a command line with administrator priviledges, and change to the directory containing the extracted executable. Run 'haspdinst.exe -kp -fremove -purge' to remove the old driver. Once complete, run 'haspdinst.exe -install' to reinstall the driver. Finally, reboot the computer.

After the machine has been rebooted, Mimic installation should succeed.
