Sentinel License Tools

Depending on the Charon-SSP version, Sentinel-specific license tools are available in Charon-SSP VPC. These tools are in particular

• License Viewer, License Updater, and License Manager in the Tools > License Tools menu of the Charon Manager,
• the Regular and Backup License parameter in the emulator license configuration section,
• the command-line tools in /opt/charon-agent/ssp-agent/utils/license.

The above tools cannot be used for managing Charon-SSP VPC licenses. Please ignore them.

Actions that can Invalidate a License

Cloud environment:

A VPC license server in a supported cloud environment can be moved be moved to a different subnet or zone in the same virtual private cloud environment. It is also possible to backup and restore (to the same instance) the license server data. However, the following actions will invalidate the license:

• Changing the instance type or shape of the license server system
• Copying the license server data to a different instance
• Seriously damaging the root filesystem of the license server system
• Running the C2V program again after having installed a valid license

VMware environment:

A VPC license server in an ESXi environment is currently tied to the hardware of the ESXi host. The license server can be installed on the same VM as the Charon-SSP software or on a different VM, but both must be on the same ESXi host. Moving the license server to a different ESXi host will currently invalidate the license. This will change in future versions.

Log Files

Log files provide important information about the operation of the license server and the Charon-SSP software. In case of problems, this is the first place to check.
