  1. Use sftp to connect to the license server instance.
    # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>  <user>@<linux-ip>
    where
    1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      (not needed for on-premises VMware installations that allow logins with username/password)
    2. <user> is the user associated with your license server instance (e.g., opc on OCI, centos for a CentOS instance on AWS, or the custom user of your VMware virtual machine;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged, supported Charon -SSP VE marketplace image, use the SFTP user charon)
    3. <linux-ip> the ip address of your license server system

  2. Copy the software package to the license server system using the following sftp command:
    > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>

  3. Use ssh to log in on the license server system.
    # ssh -i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
    1. <mykey> is the private key of the key-pair you associated with your cloud instance
      (not needed for on-premises VMware installations that allow logins with username/password)
    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 of your VMware virtual machine;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged, supported Charon -SSP VE marketplace image, use sshuser)
    3. <linux-ip> the ip address of your license server system

  4. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and update the package. If you used the VE image and copied the file using SFTP to user charon, the file will be in the hierarchy under /charon/storage.
    1. Become the root user:          # sudo -i
    2. Go to the package location:   # cd <path-to-package-directory>
    3. Install the package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum update license-server*.rpm
      2. Linux 8.x: # dnf update license-server*.rpm
