VE License Server - Prerequisites 

The use of a Charon VE License Server has a number of prerequisites:

...

• The AutoVE license server must be defined for the instance before first launch (see Configuring AutoVE Information on the Charon AL Host).
• This support was added in Charon-SSP version 5.3.8 and later images (at the time of writing on AWS, OCI, GPC, and Azure).

- Installation

If you are not familiar with the installation of RPM packages, please refer to the general Charon user's guide of your product, or your Linux system documentation.

...

1. Copy the license server software package to the license server host (if needed):
   
   1. For example, use sftp to connect to the VE license server system.
      # sftp -i ~/.ssh/<mykey>  <user>@<linux-ip>
   2. Copy the software package to the license server system using the following SFTP command:
      > put <local-path-to-license-server-package>


2. Use ssh to log in on the license server host.
   # ssh-i ~/.ssh/<mykey> <user>@<linux-ip>
   
   
3. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package:
   1. Become the root user: # sudo -i
   2. Go to the package location:  # cd <path-to-package-directory>
If you used SFTP to copy the package to an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon marketplace image, the home directory of the charon user and the default location for file transfers is /charon/storage.
   3. For VE license server 2.2.4 and above, unpack the archive and agree to the end-user license agreement:
      
      1. # chmod a+x license-server-<version>.rpm.sh
      2. # ./license-server-<version>.rpm.sh
         This will display the EULA. After agreeing to it, the RPM installation package will be unpacked in the current directory.
   4. Install the package:             
      1. Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpm
      2. Linux 8.x and 9.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm
