Emulator Licensing Considerations

The emulator needs a valid license to run. The license can be a Sentinel HASP license or a Virtual Environment (VE) license. Please refer to Initial Emulator License InstallationConfiguration for the basic license configuration steps of both options. The license(s) to be used are defined in the configuration file. If running in a cloud environment, a VE license is strongly recommended (supported from Charon-PAR version 3.0.6). |

d) Wait until the system displays the "Shutdown of operating system complete. (Shut 6)" message.
Please note: The =SHUTDOWN command only works on the system console. The :SHUTDOWN command does not have this requirement. However, it is not as safe a method as the =SHUTDOWN command.
2. After Starting with version 3.0.5, the emulator is stopped automatically after the guest operating system shutdown is complete , stop the emulator (it (unless the configuration parameter system.stop_on_halt has been set to false). If the emulator is not stopped automatically after the shutdown of the guest operating system). Different , different methods must be used for to stop it in different situations:
- The emulator was started in interactive mode and the Charon-PAR console is available in current terminal: enter the exit command at thepa3>prompt and hit Enter. This will cause the emulator to close the disk images of the emulated system and to exit.
- The Charon-PAR console is available on a local TCP port (emulator started with -c or --console-port parameter): this situation will exist most frequently if the emulator has been started as a daemon or service. To stop the emulator access the Charon-PAR console via telnet to localhost on the port specified when starting the emulator, enter the exit command at the pa3> prompt, and hit Enter.
Access to the Charon-PAR console via a TCP port is available starting with Charon-PAR version 3.0.1. The CTRL+B key combination has been disabled on the emulator console starting with this version. - The emulator was started as a daemon or service and the Charon-PAR console is not available via a local TCP port: This situation can occur if you run a version before 3.0.1 or you started the emulator without the
-coption.- For versions 3.0.1 and higher: the emulator must be stopped using the kill command from the root user on the Charon host system. Perform the following steps to stop the Charon-PAR process:
- Find the PID (process id) of the process:
# ps -ef | grep -i charon-par - Stop the process:
# kill <charon-par-pid>
- Find the PID (process id) of the process:
- For versions before 3.0.1: on the emulator console, after shutting down the guest operating system, press CTRL+B. After a few seconds, the PDC console prompt (Main menu:) will appear. Type exit to stop the emulator.
- For versions 3.0.1 and higher: the emulator must be stopped using the kill command from the root user on the Charon host system. Perform the following steps to stop the Charon-PAR process:
