I leave my system running overnight, when I come back in the morning I have the following error message: 

    "The device driver for the  'safenet usb superpro/ultrapro' device is preventing the machine from entering standby"

It potentially make Servers on the machine fail.

However, all Standby Mode settings in Windows are set to never and hibernate is unticked.

Disable the following Sentinel services:
  • Sentinel Keys Server 
  • Sentinel Protection Server
