The Charon-SSP VE License Server package is delivered as an RPM package. Stromasys or your Stromasys VAR will provide you with the software or a download link.

Package name:

license-server-<version>.rpm

Where <version> indicates the version of the software, for example, 1.0.3334.

Linux Cloud Instance for License Server

...

Depending on the cloud environment, Stromasys may offer a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image on the cloud marketplace. 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.

...

Any intermediate firewall as well as the cloud-specific subnet and instance security settings must permit the following ports to for the appropriate source systems:

TCP/8083: must be permitted from on the client to license server for the client system to enable the use the the license by the client.
TCP/8084: must be permitted by the the license server for any system that should access the web interface to display information about licenses and active clients (currently not encrypted, hence should not be run across the Internet without a VPN).

See Cloud-Specific Firewall Information for information about the traffic filtering mechanisms used in the different cloud environments.

...

The default zone name can be found with the command firewall-cmd --get--default-zone, a list of all zones can be displayed with the command firewall-cmd --get-zones.
The parameter --permanent writes the command to the respective firewalld configuration files. To add the command to the running firewall, re-run it without the parameter --permanent.
The simplified sample above does not limit the source IP address to the addresses of the license clients. This would require a more sophisticated configuration. Please refer to the documentation of your Linux system.

...

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. In certain cloud environments, Stromasys may offer a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image on the cloud marketplace. This image includes the Charon-SSP emulator software (already installed) and the VE License Server RPM package (can be installed optionally). If you use a Charon host in the cloud and the 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).

...

In versions before 1.0.17, the license server will not start automatically after the initial installation. It will be started once a valid license has been installed (see Installing a License on the VE License Server).
When upgrading to version 1.0.24 from an older version of the license server, a license update is required due to a change in the license schema.
If you plan to use a primary and a backup license server, the license server software must be installed on both systems.

At least the required emulator packages (charon-ssp-4*.rpm) and the agent (charon-agent*.rpm) must be installed for the system to run emulated SPARC systems and to allow remote management by the Charon Manager. If local management with graphical tools is required, then the Charon Manager and the Charon Director packages must also be installed.

...

Please note: To use the graphical user interface (Charon Manager for SSP) the Charon Manager package typically has to be is installed on your local Linux or Windows PC that will be used for management purposes. Running the Charon Manager in a non-graphical cloud instance and export it via X11-Forwarding is possible, but will require additional configuration and installation steps (with access to a package repository) - this is outside the scope of this document. It is also possible to manage Charon-SSP via the command-line only. This is described in the general Charon-SSP user's guide.
