To upgrade the license server package, perform the following steps (SFTP is used as a sample file transfer method):

1. Use sftp to connect to the license server instance.
   # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>  <user>@<linux-ip>
   where
   1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      (not needed for on-premises VMware installations that allow logins with username/password)
   2. <user> is the user associated with your license server instance (e.g., opc on OCI, centos for a CentOS instance on AWS, or the custom user of your VMware virtual machine;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image, use the SFTP user charon)
   3. <linux-ip> the ip address of your license server system
      
      
2. Copy the software package to the cloud instance license server system using the following sftp command:
   > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>
   
   
3. Use ssh to log in on the license server system.
   # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
   1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      (not needed for on-premises VMware installations that allow logins with username/password)
   2. <user> is the user for interactive login associated with your license server instance (e.g., opc on OCI, centos for a CentOS instance on AWS, or the custom user of your VMware virtual machine;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image, use sshuser)
   3. <linux-ip> the ip address of your license server system
      
      
4. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and update the package. If you used the VE image and copied the file using SFTP to user charon, the file will be in the hierarchy under /charon/storage.
   
   1. Become the root user:          # sudo -i
   2. Go to the package location:   # cd <path-to-package-directory>

   3. Install the package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum update license-server*.rpm
      2. Linux 8.x: # dnf update license-server*.rpm

Normally, the license server will restart and continue to work normally. To check the status, perform the following steps:

• Look at  at the content of the license server log: /opt/license-server/license_log/license.log
• Use the ps command to check that the server is running:
  # ps -ef |grep license-server
