  1. Extract the contents of the distribution TAR.GZ files to the current directory:

    # tar -xvzf charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<ZZ>.tar.gz

    where:

     

    Description

    VER

    Version of CHARON-AXP product, for example 4.8

    BN

    Build Number of CHARON-AXP product, for example 18200

    VC

    68704 - CHARON-AXP product vendor code

    ZZ

    CHARON-AXP target operating system identifier. For Fedora Core 20 'ZZ' value is 'fc20',
    for Red Hat Linux 7.1 the value is 'el71', for Red Hat Linux 6.5 the value is 'el65'

    Example:

    # tar -xvzf charon-axp-4.8-18200.fc20.tar.gz 

    As a result, the new directory "charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<VC>.<ZZ>" will be created.
     

  2. Switch to the directory, created by the "tar" command in the previous step:

    # cd charon-axp-<VER>-<BN>.<VC>.<ZZ>

    Example:

    # cd charon-axp-4.8-18200.fc20

Removing licenses can be done by physical disconnection of the corresponding USB HASP keys from the CHARON host and physical disconnection of the network HASP keys from all hosts on local network (or by disabling remote access to network licenses from the CHARON host - see detailed explanation below).

Software licenses can also be uninstalled with the hasp_srm_view utility "-tfr" option in the following way:

...

Example:

# hasp_srm_view -tfr 12345678

It is also possible to disable access to network licenses if only a local license is to be used: Click on "Configuration" link to open up "Configuration for Sentinel Manager" page.

The utility lists available network interfaces (both physical and virtual) and indicates whether they are dedicated to the host or to CHARON and whether they are currently in use by host operating system.

...

  • Dedicate interface to CHARON (option "1")
  • Release interface to host (option "2")
  • Create a bridge between a chosen physical network interface and the Linux virtual network and create a number of virtual network interfaces (option "3")
  • Remove the Linux virtual network and all the created virtual network interfaces (option "4")
  • Add VLAN (option "5")
  • Remove VLAN (option "6")
  • Print status (option "57") - use it to display status of network interfaces and the menu shown above
  • Exit (option "68")

In the example above we see 2 network interfaces - "eth0" and "eth1", both of them are dedicated to host, but host uses only the interface "eth0".
