The VE license server package
A suitable Linux cloud instance to be used as license server
Correct firewall settings
The VE-capable Charon-SSP emulator software in the same cloud environment

These items are described below.

In versions before 1.0.17, the license server will not start automatically after the initial installation. It will be started once a valid license has been installed (see Installing a License on the VE License Server).
When upgrading to version 1.0.24 from an older version of the license server, a license update is required due to a change in the license schema.

VE License Server Installation Steps

Perform the following steps to install the VE License Server software:

Copy the license server software package to the cloud instance:
1. Use sftp to connect to the cloud instance.
  # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<cloud-instance-ip>
  where
  <mykey> is the private key of the keypair you associated with your cloud instance
  <user> is the privileged user associated with your cloud instance (e.g., "opc" on OCI, or "centos" for a CentOS instance on AWS)
  <cloud-instance-ip> the ip address of your cloud instance
2. Copy the software package to the cloud instance using the following sftp command:
  > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>
Use ssh to log in on the cloud instance.
# ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<cloud-instance-ip>
As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package:
1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
2. Go to the package location: # cd <path-to-package-directory>
3. Install the package:
  1. Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpm
  2. Linux 8.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm

Below, you find the sample output of an installation:
