- The license server software can be combined with the Charon emulator software on one instance, or it can run on a separate system. However, it is recommended to run the VE license server on a dedicated system to avoid license invalidation caused by changes to the system which are more likely to occur on a system used for other purposes as well, for example, to run a Charon emulator. It is also recommended to install a backup license server to ensure continued operation in case of a failure or invalidation of the primary license.
- The license server typically is installed in the same cloud environment.
- Charon host and license server do not need a public IP address. They communicate across the cloud-internal LAN environment.
- Starting with Charon-SSP version 4.1.19, and with Charon-PAR and Charon-AXP/VAX from initial VE support, a backup license server has been supported.

- The AutoVE license server address must be configured prior to the first launch of the instance from a supported AL marketplace image. Otherwise, the public license servers will be used.If the
- license server is to be installed on the Charon emulator host instance itself (based on a marketplace AL image), the license server RPM and a valid AutoVE license must be manually installed on the instanceLicense server and Charon host must be in the same cloud environment.
