Parameter

license_key_id

TypeText string
Value

A set of a Sentinel Key IDs that specifies the license keys to be used by CHARON. It is also possibly to use a keyword "any" to force CHARON to look for suilable license in all available keys if the license is not found in the specified keys.

Example:

set session license_key_id = "1877752571,354850588,any"

Based on the presence of this parameter in the configuration file, CHARON behaves as follows:
 

  1. No keys are specified (the parameter is absent)
    CHARON performs an unqualified search for any suitable key in unspecified order. If no key is found, CHARON exits.

  2. One or many keys are specified
    CHARON performs a qualified search for a regular license key in the specified order. If it is not found, CHARON exits (if the parameter keyword "license_use_any_key" is not set).

If the option keyword "license_use_any_key=true" is  is specified then if no valid license has been found in the keys with specified ID’s all other available keys are examined for valid license as well.

Note

The order in which keys are specified is very important. If a valid license was found in the key which ID was not the first one specified in configuration file, then available keys are periodically rescanned and if the key with the ID earlier in the list than the current one is found CHARON tries to find a valid license there and in case of success switches to that key.

_id

Parameter

license_key_id

TypeText string
Value

A set of a Sentinel Key IDs license indetifiers that specifies the license keys the licenses to be used by CHARON. This parameter is applicable only to new licenses.

Example:

set session license_key_id = "18777525712718281828,354850588314159265"

Based on the presence of this parameter in the configuration file, CHARON behaves as follows:
 

  1. No keys are specified (the parameter is absent)
    CHARON performs an unqualified search for any suitable key in unspecified order. If no key is found, CHARON exits.

  2. One or many keys are specified
    CHARON performs a qualified search for a regular license key in the specified order. If it is not found, CHARON exits (if the parameter "license_use_any_key" is not set).

If the option "license_use_any_key=true" is specified then if no valid license has been found in the keys with specified ID’s all other available keys are examined for valid license.

If this parameter is set, Charon considers for validation only the available licenses with license ID parameter set and equal to one of
the license ID's specified in the configuration

license_key_lookup_retry

Parameterlicense_key_lookup_retry
TypeText String
Value

In case the CHARON-AXP license connection is not present when the guest starts up, this parameter specifies how many times CHARON-AXP will try to establish the connection and, optionally, a period of time between retries.

Syntax:

set session license_key_lookup_retry = "N [, T]"

Options:

  • N - Number of retries to look for license keys.
  • T - Time between retries in seconds. If not specified 60 seconds are used

Example 1

set session license_key_lookup_retry = 1

If license key is not found during initial scan, do only one more attempt after 60 seconds.

Example 2

set session license_key_lookup_retry = "1,30"

Same as above but retry in 30 seconds.

Example 3

set session license_key_lookup_retry = "3,10"

If license key is not found during initial scan, do 3 more attempts waiting 10 seconds between them.

Example 4

set session license_key_lookup_retry = "5"

If license key is not found during the initial scan, do 5 more attempts waiting 60 seconds between them.
