Once the Sentinel run-time driver is installed and the network license is connected, CHARON-AXP can be started on any appropriate host on the LAN network segment.

Note that the following operations have to be performed on installation phase for network licenses:
Please consult with your Windows User's Guide on details. If stricter firewall rules are required, it is possible to open the ports 30000-65535 and 1947 only for the "Sentinel HASP License Manager" (hasplms.exe) service (it will be installed by CHARON-AXP ). |
| Info |

The Network license key contains a specific parameter to restrict the number of hosts allowed to run CHARON-AXP at the same time. Together with a parameter defining the number of CHARON-AXP instances that may run at the same time, the network license sets the total number of running CHARON-AXP instances on the allowed number of hosts. |
...
The CHARON-AXP Software License is a "virtual" key with exactly the same functionality as the hardware dongle.
The CHARON-AXP Software License does not require any hardware but it requires installation of the Sentinel run-time environment.
Software licenses are always network-wide on Windows, so they behave the same way as Network HASP keys.
...
Multiple licenses configuration and backup license
For any type of licensing, CHARON-AXP can use only one valid ("active") license (of given vendor code) at a time.
The "HASP View" utility displays a range of available licenses, but note that by default CHARON-AXP may use any of them as the "active" one - unless it is directly specified by the "license_key_id" parameter (see below). The utility provides the license numbers and ID / IP addresses of the hosts where the licenses are installed.

The general recommendation is to avoid usage of multiple keys in one network segment. Use only one locally installed license per host or one network license per local network segment containing several CHARON-AXP hosts.
When needed, it is possible to use a special parameter in the CHARON-AXP configuration file to specify exactly which license must be used by each particular instance of CHARON-AXP:
...
A number (decimal Sentinel key ID) that specifies regular (N=0) and backup (N=1) license keys to be used by CHARON-AXP.
Example:

It is also possible to specify both regular and backup key in one line.
Example:
set session license_key_id[0]=1877752571 license_key_id[1]=354850588 |
Depending on the presence of the regular and/or backup license key IDs in the configuration file, CHARON-AXP behaves differently:

Before installation of license make sure that the Sentinel run-time (driver) to be installed is collected from your CHARON kit or provided by STROMASYS on request for your particular product. Do not update the Sentinel run-time (driver) from online or any other sources, including the Sentinel web site. In case of several CHARON kits containing different versions of Sentinel run-time (driver) the last one (having more recent version) must be installed. CHARON installation performs this operation automatically. |

To switch the Sentinel HL key to "driverless" mode it is required to install Sentinel run-time first as described above and apply a special *.v2c file that switches the key to "driverless" mode. Once it is done the Sentinel run-time can be deinstalled.
Info Note that the following operations have to be performed on installation phase for network licenses:
- On server side (where network license will reside): open port 1947 for both TCP and UDP
- On clients side: open UDP ports 30000-65535
- Both on server and client sides: setup default gateway
Please consult with your Windows User's Guide on details.
If stricter firewall rules are required, it is possible to open the ports 30000-65535 and 1947 only for the "Sentinel HASP License Manager" (hasplms.exe) service (it will be installed by CHARON-AXP ).

Disable remote keys access A helpful feature of Sentinel Admin Control Center is the ability to disable access to remote keys. If the network key is installed locally, access to the key from remote hosts can be disabled. The following examples demonstrate how this can be done.
To disable access to remote keys switch to the "Access to Remote License Managers" tab and uncheck the "Allow Access to Remote Licenses" checkbox. Then press the "Submit" button to apply this change:
To disable access to the locally installed license key from remote hosts switch to the "Access from Remote Clients" tab and uncheck the "Allow Access from Remote Clients" checkbox. Then press "Submit" button to apply this setting:
