Perform the following basic steps to request and install a license:
- VMware only: For the first license request in a VMware environment or if the binding data has changed: use the esxi_bind command to bind the license server to its ESXi host or vCenter server.
- Collect the fingerprint (the customer-to-vendor - or C2V - file) on the license server and (if applicable) the backup license server.
- Send the fingerprint data to Stromasys stating the license requirements based on your contract with Stromasys (product version, number of concurrent instances, is this the main or the backup license, etc.). Stromasys will send you the license data. Please also indicate if you require a license with or without a passphrase (can be selected per product section). The use of a passphrase requires Charon-SSP emulator versions 4.3.x and higher and VE license server versions 1.1.x and higher.
- Install the license data (the vendor-to-customer - or V2C - file) on the license server and (if applicable) on the backup license server.
- Verify the license installation.
These basic steps are described in more detail below.
