Removing CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP software licenses

Removing CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP software licenses

The following procedure must be applied to remove the software license:

To completely remove a CHARON VM CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP license from a host, it is enough to remove the Sentinel run-time driver using the following procedure:

• Login as Administrator
• Open the CHARON VM CHARON CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP kit folder
• Switch to the "hasp_install" subfolder
• Unzip the archive located in this folder
• Open "cmd.exe" and switch to the folder where the files were unzipped

• Execute the following command:

  ...> haspdinst.exe -fr -kp -nomsg

Remove Unplug the license dongle. Note that the Sentinel run-time driver is deinstalled automatically on the CHARON VM with when a complete deinstallation of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP is performed.

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 time CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP checks the license (every hour), the value is decreased (by 1 hour). Please note that backup keys have restricted functionality:
