Please refer to your cloud provider's documentation for configuring and launching an appropriate instance. A description of the basic steps of launching an instance can be found in Additional Information.

Depending on the cloud environment, Stromasys may offer a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image. This image includes the Charon-SSP emulator software (already installed) and the VE License Server RPM package (can be installed optionally). An instance launched from such a prepackaged image can also be used as a VE license server.

Software requirements for License Server:

...

The VE license server software requires matching Charon-SSP emulator software. The necessary features are available in Charon-SSP 4.2.x and its pre-releases. Stromasys or your Stromasys VAR will provide you with the software or a download link. Please note: Depending on the cloud environment, Stromasys may offer a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image. This image includes the Charon-SSP emulator software (already installed) and the VE License Server RPM package (can be installed optionally). If an instance was launched from such a prepackaged image, the required VE-capable emulator software is already installed (refer to the respective cloud-specific Getting Started Guide for more information).

Please note: The protocol versions used by the emulator software and the license server must be compatible. The software checks for compatible protocol versions and and reports an error should there be a mismatch.

1. Copy the license server software package to the cloud instance (if still required):
   1. Use sftp to connect to the cloud instance.
      # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>  <user>@<cloud-instance-ip>
      where
      <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      <user> is the privileged user associated with your cloud instance (e.g., "opc" on OCI, or "centos" for a CentOS instance on AWS; for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, use sshuser)
      <cloud-instance-ip> the ip address of your cloud instance
      
   2. Copy the software package to the cloud instance using the following sftp command:
      > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>
2. Use ssh to log in on the cloud instance.
   # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<cloud-instance-ip>

3. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package:
   1. Become the root user:          # sudo -i
   2. Go to the package location:   # cd <path-to-package-directory>
On an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, the installation package is stored under /charon/storage)
   3. Install the package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpm
      2. Linux 8.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm
