Once the Sentinel run-time driver is installed and the network license is connected, CHARON VM can be started on any appropriate host on the LAN network segment.
...
CHARON-AXP/VAX version 4.7 build 171-01 introduced a change with respect to network licenses:
In previous versions of CHARON-AXP/VAX a network license controlled the maximum number of client host systems and CHARON instances per host system (station/instance mode).
...
A network license controls the maximum overall number of active instances, which can be distributed across client host systems according to the preference of the customer.
Software licenses
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP Software License is a "virtual" key with exactly the same functionality as the hardware dongle.
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP Software License does not require any hardware but it requires installation of the Sentinel run-time environment.
Software licenses are always network-wide on Windows, so they behave the same way as Network HASP keys.
Multiple licenses configuration and backup license
For any type of licensing, CHARON VM can use only one valid ("active") license (of given vendor code) at a time.
The "HASP License details" utility (it can be started from CHARON Virtual Machines Manager) displays a range of available licenses, but note that by default CHARON VM may use any of them as the "active" one - unless it is directly specified by the "license_key_id" parameter (see below). The utility provides the license numbers and ID / IP addresses of the hosts where the licenses are installed.

CHARON VM cannot:

The general recommendation is to avoid usage of multiple keys in one network segment. Use only one locally installed license per host or one network license per local network segment containing several CHARON VM hosts.

When needed, it is possible to use a special parameter in the CHARON VM configuration file to specify exactly which license must be used by each particular CHARON VM:
| Parameter | Type | Value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| license_key_id[N], N=0 or 1 | Numeric | A number (decimal Sentinel key ID) that specifies regular (N=0) and backup (N=1) license keys to be used by CHARON VM. Example:
It is also possible to specify both regular and backup key in one line. Example:
Depending on the presence of the regular and/or backup license key IDs in the configuration file, CHARON VM behaves differently:
|
This parameter also specifies the license which will be used as backup if the active license expires.

Disable remote keys access
A helpful feature of Sentinel Admin Control Center is the ability to disable access to remote keys. If the network key is installed locally, access to the key from remote hosts can be disabled. The following examples demonstrate how this can be done.

Removing CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP software licenses
...
- Go to http://localhost:1947 to access the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC).
- In the "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC), locate the target "Sentinel SL AdminMode" license.
Press the "Certificates" button at the right side of the SL description:
.Note the name of the correspondent certificate and path to the certificates base in the "Certificates" section:
.- Remove the certificate file. In the example above the file to remove is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK\installed\68704\387285561437702475_base.v2c".
- Reboot CHARON host
- Start "Sentinel HASP Admin Control Center" (ACC) again to ensure that the SL has been removed.
