The TCP port used by remote systems to query the license server configuration via the web web-based management interface must be permitted on the license server.

- Copy the license server software package to the license server host (if still requiredneeded):
- For example, use sftp to connect to the VE license server system.
# sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>
<user>@<linux-ip>
where- <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
(for an on-premises VMware installation where login with username/password is allowed, it is not needed) - <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 on your VMware virtual machine;
for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, use the SFTP user charon) - <linux-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
- <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
- Copy the software package to the license server system using the following SFTP command:
> put <local-path-to-license-server-package>
- For example, use sftp to connect to the VE license server system.
- Use ssh to log in on the license server host.
where# ssh-i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
- <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
(for an on-premises VMware installation where login with username/password is allowed, it is not needed) - <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 on your VMware virtual machine;
for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, use sshuser) - <linux-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
- <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
- As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package:
- Become the root user:
# sudo -i
- Go to the package location:
# cd <path-to-package-directory>
On an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image, the installation package is stored
under /charon/storage) - Install the package:
- Linux 7.x:
# yum install license-server*.rpm
- Linux 8.x:
# dnf install license-server*.rpm
- Linux 7.x:
- Become the root user:
