If the CHARON license is a network license (red USB dongle), it is possible either to connect it to the host USB port (to use it locally providing and provide it to other hosts on the local network at the same time) or to install it on some a local network "license server" for remote access from this particular host.

In case of remote usageIf a remote license server is to be used:

  • Copy the file "hasp_install\Sentinel_LDK_Run-time_cmd_line_X.XX.zip"  file from the CHARON distributive distribution to any directory on the server in any directory, for example "C:\Temp".
  • Extract the content of this archive to the same directory.
  • Login as "Administrator" on the server and open "cmd.exe" from the "Start" menu.
  • Switch to that directory.
  • Install the extracted file.
