  • This Getting Started Guide covers basic cloud-specific aspects when installing a Charon-SSP product in the cloud. The main focus is on the prepackaged images provided on the cloud-specific marketplaces. However, it can also serve as an introduction to general cloud-specific aspects when installing the individual Charon-SSP RPM packages on a server in the cloud.
  • The general Charon-SSP User's Guides (see CHARON-SSP for Linux) cover features, configuration, and management of the Charon-SSP products.
  • The VE License Server User's Guide covers features, installation, and management of the VE (Virtual Environment) license server and the VE licenses.
  • The Release Notes of your product provide important information regarding known problems and possible workarounds.

1) Use of public license server requires Internet access of Charon host.
2) Typically the VE license server is installed in the same cloud environment - either on the Charon host itself or a separate license server system.
3) For the VMware case, there are some restrictions:

  • The Charon emulator must be on the same VM as the VE license server, or

  • on a VM running on the same ESXi host as the VE license server(ESXi binding), or

  • on a VM running on an ESXi host managed by the same vCenter Server as the ESXi host on which the VE license server VM runs (vCenter binding).

4) Only for updating the Charon-SSP emulator software on hosts based on Charon-SSP cloud-specific marketplace images for Automatic Licensing (AL).
5) Non VE-enabled packages can also be installed in cloud environments. However, this is not recommended as HASP licenses are not suitable for clouds.
