- Software licenses only.
- Developed by Stromasys.
- Installed on the Charon host or a separate license server.
- Require the Charon VE license server software.
- Require matching VE-capable Charon emulator software.
- Different modes of operation:
- For general VE mode, the customer is billed by Stromasys depending on the number and type of the emulated systems allowed by the installed license(s). The license server software itself is free of charge.
- AutoVE mode is an extension of automatic licensing and introduces metered billing (by the cloud-provider) for VE licenses in cloud environment. It defines how many Charon emulator cloud instances can be run based on the respective license. The number of emulated systems on each host instance is limited by the host resources, not the license.
- The license server for both modes is managed by the customer.
- Support at the time of writing:
- VE license server availability: supported clouds (at the time of writing: AWS, OCI, Azure, GCP, IBM, and Nutanix), supported VMware environments, and physical servers.
- AutoVE support: Charon-SSP AL (Automatic Licensing) marketplace images version 5.3.8 or higher on AWS, OCI, GCP, and Azure only.
