Important information for Charon-PAR software upgrades:
- Upgrading to this Charon-PAR from an older version requires a license update (independent of license type used). Please contact your VAR or Stromasys representative to plan the update.
- Applicable to HASP licenses only: Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher is incompatible with licenses of earlier versions. Earlier product versions are incompatible with licenses for Charon-PAR 3.0 and higher. Charon-PAR/PA3 licenses for version 3.0 are not backward compatible for emulators running with version 2.x.

Charon-PAR Software Packaging and Installation
The Charon-PAR version 3.0 and higher emulator kits contain the haspvlib library and the hasp_srm_view and hasp_update utilities. This means that there may be installation conflicts with other Charon emulator products on the same host systems. Such conflicts can be overcome either by not installing the conflicting modules of the other products (if possible), or by forcing the installation of the Charon-PAR kit. Please refer to the documentation of your host system (man rpm) in such cases and ensure that this will not negatively influence any other installed products. If you use the --force option for an installation, please uninstall older packages of the same product before.

Such conflicts can be overcome either by not installing the conflicting modules of the other products (if possible), or by forcing the installation of the Charon-PAR set of RPM packages. Stromasys or your Stromasys VAR will provide you with the software or a download linkkit.
