VE stands for "Virtual Environment". At the time of writing, this term refers to supported cloud and VMware environments only. For Charon-SSP products using such licenses, customers must purchase their license from Stromasys. This is different from the cloud-specific Charon-SSP Automatic Licensing (AL) images where licensing is configured automatically when the cloud instance is launched.
This guide covers the Charon-SSP VE License Server software. This package contains a license server application that can be installed in customer-specific AWS, OCI, GCP, Azure, IBM and Azure environments (the list of supported platforms may be extended in the future)VMware environments. This licensing option is adapted to the special requirements of a cloud environment virtualized environments and simplifies the process of running Charon-SSP in customer-specific supported cloud and VMware environments. The license server is managed by the customer.
VE licenses provided by a VE license server require a specific variant of the Charon-SSP software (available starting with Charon-SSP version 4.2.x). The examples in this guide were partially created with a pre-release of version 4.2. For a full description of Charon-SSP version 4.2 configuration and management aspects that are not related to the specifics of the VE license application, please refer to your the Charon-SSP user's guide of you version (see CHARON-SSP for Linux).
