This guide is intended for anyone who needs to install, configure, or manage the Stromasys Charon-SSP cloud BYOL license server. A general working knowledge of PC operating systems and their conventions is expected. BYOL stands for "Bring your own license". This means that for the cloud-specific Charon-SSP emulator software that uses such a license server, customers have to purchase their license from Stromasys. This is different from the cloud-specific marketplace images where licensing happens is configured automatically when the cloud instance is launched.
This getting-started guide covers the Charon-SSP Cloud BYOL License Server software. This package contains a license server application that can be installed in customer-specific AWS, OCI and Azure environments. Extension of the feature to additional cloud environments and VMware environments is planned for the future. This license feature enables customers to run, for example, Charon-SSP in a customer-specific cloud environment without requiring Internet access to reach a license server. The license server is managed by the customer.
BYOL licenses provided by a cloud BYOL license server require a specific variant of the Charon-SSP software (Charon-SSP available starting with version 4.2.x). The tests in this guide were performed with a pre-release of version 4.2. For a full description of Charon-SSP version 4.2 aspects that are not related to the specifics of the cloud BYOL license application, please refer to the full user's guide of your product variant.
