Please note:

• Should you use the SSP Amazon Linux AMI with SSP version 5.6.8 or higher as provided by the AWS Mainframe Modernization - Virtualization for SPARC service, the instance will by default connect to the public, Stromasys-operated AutoVE license servers (defined in /opt/charon-license-server ). You only need the user data definition for older versions or to override the default with your private AutoVE servers.
• The example below shows the appearance of the AutoVE license server information that is entered as User Data in the Advanced Details configuration section at the bottom of the Launch an Instance window during the initial configuration of an instance. Scroll down to the bottom of the configuration window to open and display the user data section in the Advanced Details.
• In the older GUI version, the Advanced Details section is part of the Configure Instance window - the layout is somewhat different, but the configuration options are the same.

 Enter the information for the AutoVE license server as shown in the example below (it shows the public AutoVE servers):

Valid User Data configuration options:

• primary_server=<ip-address>[:<port>]
• backup_server=<ip-address>[:<port>]

where

• <ip-address> stands for the IP address of the primary and the backup server as applicable, and
• <port> stands for a non-default TCP port used to communicate with the license server (default: TCP/8083).

Please note: at least one license server must be configured at initial launch to enable AutoVE mode. This can be via the /opt/charon-license-server file with the default public servers (SSP 5.6.8 or higher) or via the manual user data configuration. Otherwise, the instance will bind to one of the public AL license servers operated by Stromasys.

The AutoVE license server information is entered as Custom Metadata. In the initial instance configuration window, go to the bottom where the NETWORKING, DISKS, SECURITY, MANAGEMENT... configuration section is located. Open it and select the Management section. Add the Custom Metadata as shown in the example below:

Valid User Data configuration options:

• primary_server <ip-address>[:<port>]
• backup_server  <ip-address>[:<port>]

where

• <ip-address> stands for the IP address of the primary and the backup server as applicable, and
• <port> stands for a non-default TCP port used to communicate with the license server (default: TCP/8083).

Please note: at least one license server must be configured at initial launch to enable AutoVE mode. Otherwise, the instance will bind to one of the public license servers operated by Stromasys.

The AutoVE license server information is entered as instance User Data. In the initial instance configuration window, go to the Advanced section.

• Open it and scroll down to the User Data section.
  
  
• Enable the User Data by ticking the checkbox.
  
• Then enter the correct primary and backup AutoVE servers as shown in the example below:
  

Valid User Data configuration options:

• primary_server=<ip-address>[:<port>]
• backup_server=<ip-address>[:<port>]

where

• <ip-address> stands for the IP address of the primary and the backup server as applicable, and
• <port> stands for a non-default TCP port used to communicate with the license server (default: TCP/8083).

Please note: at least one license server must be configured at initial launch to enable AutoVE mode. Otherwise, the instance will bind to one of the public license servers operated by Stromasys.
