Backup keys are provided by STROMASYS along with standard license dongles. It is strongly recommended to order a backup key to recover immediately from damage or loss of the main license key. Backup keys use a counter (integer) value hardcoded inside the key. This integer value is a number of hours CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP is allowed to run. Each time CHARON VM checks the license (every hour), the value is decreased (by 1 hour). Please note that backup keys have restricted functionality:
- The CHARON VM run time is typically limited to 720 hours (30 days). This is the time alloted to get a replacement from STROMASYS.
- A Backup license may be valid only until a certain date. Please check with STROMASYS management.
