- The Regular and Backup License parameter in the emulator license configuration section

General Information
Charon -SSP emulators for VE licenses supports support a backup license server to ensure service continuity should the primary license server become temporarily unavailable. Backup licenses are typically limited to a certain number of emulator runtime hours.
...
Please note: If you do not have a valid backup license and the primary license server is unavailable for more than 2 hours, make sure to shut down the Solaris guest operating system cleanly before the end of the grace period. Failure to do so may cause data loss or corruption.
...
Log files provide important information about the operation of the license server and the Charon -SSP emulator software. In case of problems, this is the first place to check.
