Please note:

• If you are not familiar with the installation of RPM packages, please refer to the regular user's guide or your Linux system documentation.
• You do not need to stop running emulator instance before upgrading the license server.
• Please refer to the general Charon user's guide for information on how to upgrade the Charon emulator software.
• If the old license server was uninstalled before installing the new version (instead of performing an upgrade), the license (V2C file) must be imported again using the v2c utility.

To upgrade the license server package, perform the following steps (SFTP is used as a sample file transfer method):

...

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

Normally, the license server will restart and continue to work normally. To check the status, perform the following steps:

• Look at the content of the license server log: /opt/license-server/log/license.log
• Use the ps command to check that the server is running:
  # ps -ef |grep license-server
• Starting with version 1.1.18, a new parameter to the license server is available to display the license server status:
  # cd /opt/license-server
# ./license_server -s

About an hour after the installation check the emulator log files of any active instances to verify that no unexpected problem has been caused by the new version.
