In some emulator products it is possible to configure the number of retries and the waiting time between them by adding parameters to the emulator configuration file. Please refer to the product documentation for the details regarding the relevant parameters: license_retry_period and license_retry_count parameters (obsolete starting with version 1.10)
2. At regular intervals during the runtime of the emulator (the default license check period of 1 hour can be changed by Stromasys using the appropriate license parameters):

A software license does not require any special hardware but it still requires installation of the Sentinel runtime environment.
Please note:
- To avoid unexpected problems, do not use any Sentinel runtime software that was not provided by Stromasys without being advised to do so by your Stromasys representative.
- Software licenses are best suited for stable environments, because their correct function depends on certain characteristics of the host system. Changing any of these characteristics will invalidate the license.
- If the Charon host runs on real hardware, software licenses are by default tightly bound to the hardware for which they were issued. If major hardware characteristics of the system are changed, the license will be disabled.
- If the Charon host runs in a virtual environment (e.g., VMware), software licenses are normally bound to the virtual machine ID and a set of additional characteristics of the virtual machine. If any of these parameters are changed, the license will be disabled.
- Software licenses are very sensitive to even small changes on the host system. Therefore, it is especially important to provide for a backup license that will ensure continued operation should there be a problem with the software license. See Handling Multiple License Keys and Product Licenses for details.

Handling Multiple License Keys and Multiple Products per License
A Charon host system can have access to several local and remote license keys. Each license key can contain one or more product licenses.
...
The emulator instance will scan the available license keys for the listed product license IDs. Then it will try to use the first defined product section. If it is not available, it will try the next and so on. If none of the listed product license IDs are found, the emulator will stop.
Please note: without this parameter, the emulator will try to use the first applicable product section found. If this is not the correct one, the emulator may not start.
To identify the relevant product license IDs, display the available licenses as described in section View Existing Licenses.
...
If you have not installed the license server yet (and for any more in-depth information), please refer to the VE license server user's guide (see Licensing Documentation).
The information below shows the command-line tools for license management. Starting with version 1.1.16 of the VE license server, these activities can also be performed using a web-based management GUI. Please refer to the appropriate VE license server user's guide (see Licensing Documentation).
Firewall Considerations
| Excerpt | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
If the VE license server is not installed on the same system as the emulator, any intermediate firewall must allow at least the port on which the license is served. Optionally, the firewalls must allow the port on which the web-based GUI is available. These ports are configurable on the VE license server. The default values are the following:
|
Creating a C2V File
Running esxi_bind before First C2V Creation on VMware
...
The license server must be added to the Charon-PAR emulator configuration. Please refer to the section Initial Emulator License InstallationConfiguration.
