Comment: mention backup license server

...

Perform the following steps to install the license on the license server (if a backup license server is to be used, it needs its own license):

  1. Copy the V2C file to the license server (e.g., with SFTP).
  2. 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 license server 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 you physical server;
      for an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon supported marketplace image, use sshuser)
    3. <license-server-ip> is the ip address of your license server system
  3. Become the privileged user and run the v2c program.
    1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
    2. Run the v2c program: # /opt/license-server/v2c -f <my-file>.v2c
      where <my-file>.v2c is the path and name under which you want to store the fingerprint. The file type is V2C (vendor-to-customer).
