Any intermediate firewall as well as the cloud-specific subnet and instance security settings must permit the necessary ports for the appropriate source systems:

  • Basic license operation: the
    The TCP port that is used by the license client to access the license must be permitted on the license server.
    Default: TCP/8083; an alternative port can be configured in /opt/license_server/config.ini.
  • Access to license server web interface: the
    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.
    Default: TCP/8084; an alternative port can be configured in /opt/license_server/config.ini.

  1. Copy the license server software package to the license server host (if still requiredneeded):
    1. For example, use sftp to connect to the VE license server system.
      # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>  <user>@<linux-ip>
      where
      1. <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)
      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 on your VMware virtual machine;
        for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, use the SFTP user charon)
      3. <linux-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
    2. Copy the software package to the license server system using the following SFTP command:
      > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>
  2. Use ssh to log in on the license server host.
    # ssh-i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
    where
    1. <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)
    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 on your VMware virtual machine;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE image, use sshuser)
    3. <linux-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
  3. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package:
    1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
    2. 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)
    3. Install the package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpm
      2. Linux 8.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm
