Parameter Use for HASP Licenses

There can be several license_key_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of license keys. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this ID is available, the next key in the list will be tried. If a higher priority key becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_key_id "key-id-prio1"

Optional parameter for HASP licensing. There can be several license_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of product license IDs. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this product license ID is available, the next product license ID in the list will be attempted. If a higher priority license becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_id "lic-id-prio1"

Every bit in the calculated affinity mask corresponds to one host CPU (counting from 0). For example: 00000001 corresponds to to CPU 0, 00000003 corresponds to CPU 0 and 1.

If the automatically calculated affinity is not sufficient, an alternative would be to start The automatic calculation can be limited to certain CPUs by starting the emulator with an explicit affinity mask defined by the taskset command.
Example: # taskset 2f /opt/charon/bin/charon-par -f myconfigfile.cfg
This would set the affinity mask such that the emulator would only use CPUs 0-3 and 5. If do_affinity is enabled, the automatic calculation will be restricted to the CPUs allowed by the taskset command.
