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).

Sending the C2V File to Stromasys and Receive License Data File

...

In response, you will receive a so-called V2C (vendor-to-customer) file which contains the license data. The content of the license (type of emulated SPARC, expiration date, number of concurrent instances, etc.) depends on your contract with Stromasys. You may also receive a text file containing the license content in human readable form.
