license_key_id

Parameter

license_key_id[N]

N=0 or 1

TypeNumericText string
ValueAn integer (decimal

A set of a Sentinel Key

ID)

IDs that specifies

the regular (N=0) and backup (N=1) license

the license keys to be used by CHARON

-AXP.

set session license_key_id[0]=1877752571
set session license_key_id[1]=354850588

It is also possible to specify both regular and backup keys in one line

.

Example:

set session license_key_id

[0]

=

1877752571 license_key_id[1]=354850588

"1877752571,354850588"

Based on the presence of

the regular and/or backup license key IDs

this parameter in the configuration file, CHARON

-AXP

behaves as follows:
 

  1. No keys are specified (the parameter is absent)
    CHARON

-AXP
  1. performs an unqualified search for any suitable key in unspecified order. If no key is found, CHARON

-AXP
  1. exits.

  1. One or many keys are specified

-AXP performs a qualified search for backup license key. If it is not found, CHARON-AXP exits.Only regular key is specified
CHARON-AXP performs a qualified search for a regular license key. If it is not found, CHARON-AXP
  1. 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.

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.


license_key_id

Parameter

license_key_id

TypeText string
Value

A set of a Sentinel Key IDs that specifies the license keys to be used by CHARON.

Example:

set session license_key_id = "1877752571,354850588"

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 none are no key is found, CHARON -AXP exits.

  2. Only backup key is One or many keys are specified
    CHARON -AXP performs an unqualified a qualified search for any suitable keya regular license key in the specified order. If no key it is not found, CHARON -AXP exitsexits (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.

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.
