Charon emulators that are to use Virtual Environments (VE) licenses require at least one VE license server on the Charon host system itself or an a separate license server. The VE license server must run in a supported cloud (unless both, the Charon emulator and the license server run in the same VMware environment). The software package is included in all Charon-SSP VE marketplace images and the newer AL marketplace images. The installation of the VE License Server package on a Charon host system launched from a Charon-SSP marketplace image is described below:

Step Description

1

Log into your cloud instance and become the root user on the Charon host in the cloud using the following commands:

$ ssh -i <path-to-private-key> sshuser@<ip-address-of-cloud-instance>
$ sudo -i

2

Go to the directory where the package has been stored (this location is applicable to the prepackaged Charon-SSP VE marketplace image):
# cd /charon/storage/

3

For VE license server 2.2.4 and above, unpack the archive and agree to the end-user license agreement:

#

chmod a+x license-server-<version>.rpm.

sh

#

./license-server-<version>.rpm.sh
This will display the EULA. After agreeing to it, the RPM installation package and the EULA will be unpacked in a subdirectory (license-server-<version>.rpm) of the current working directory (version 2.2.4 only: the RPM will be unpacked in the current working directory).

4

Install the package:

Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server-<version>.rpm
Linux 8.x and 9.x: # dnf install license-server-<version>.rpm

Sample installation:
