- Upgrading to this Charon-PAR from an older version requires a license update. Please contact your VAR or Stromasys representative to plan the update.
- Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher is incompatible with licenses of earlier versions. Earlier product versions are incompatible with licenses for Charon-PAR 3.0 and higher. Charon-PAR/PA3 licenses for version 3.0 are not backward compatible for emulators running with version 2.x.
Please note: The Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher emulator kits contain the haspvlib library and the hasp_srm_view and hasp_update utilities. This means that there may be installation conflicts with other Charon emulator products on the same host systems. Such conflicts can be overcome either by not installing the conflicting modules of the other products (if possible), or by forcing the installation of the Charon-PAR kit.
Charon-PAR Software Packages Overview
...
- For the installation of a Charon-PAR/PA3 emulated system, a preinstalled MPE/iX 7.5 disk image (mpe75a.dsk.bz2) is required. This will be provided by Stromasys.
- For the installation of a Charon-PAR/PA9 emulated system, a HP-UX ISO is required.
- Additional packages may be required to be installed on the host operating system. They will be discussed in the sections where they are relevant.
- If additionally required packages are not available in the standard repositories of the host operating system, additional repositories can be installed using, for example, the EPEL repository (more information: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
