  1. Use ssh to log in on the license server instance.
    # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<license-server-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 or your physical server;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image, use sshuser)
    3. <license-server-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
  2. Become the privileged user and run the c2v program.
    1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
    2. Run the c2v program: # /opt/license-server/c2v --filename <my-file>.c2v --platform <my-platform>
      where
      1. <my-file>.c2v is the path and name under which you want to store the fingerprint. The file type is C2V (customer-to-vendor)
      2. <my-platform> indicates the platform on which the license server runs (possible values: physical, aws, oci, gcp, azure, ibm, nutanix, or esxi)
  3. Copy the resulting C2V file to your local system (unless you can send email from the license server system).

  1. Copy the V2C file to the license server (e.g., with SFTP).
  2. Use ssh to log in on the license server instance.
    # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<license-server-ip>
    where
    1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your license server instance
      (for an on-premises VMware installation where login with username/password is allowed, it is not needed)

      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image, use sshuser)
    3. <license-server-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
  3. Become the privileged user and run the v2c program.
    1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
    2. Run the v2c program: # /opt/license-server/v2c -f <my-file>.v2c
      where <my-file>.v2c is the path and name under which you want to store the fingerprint. The file type is V2C (vendor-to-customer).
