Comment: Added license_key_id format for VE

...

Parameter

license_key_id

TypeText string
Value

A set of Sentinel Key IDs that specifies the license keys to be used by CHARON. It is also possible to use the keyword "any" to force CHARON to look for a suitable license in all available keys.

Example for a HASP license:

set session license_key_id = "1877752571,354850588,any"

Based on the presence of this parameter in the configuration file, CHARON behaves as follows:
 

  1. No keys are specified (the parameter is absent)
    CHARON performs an unqualified search for any suitable key in unspecified order. If no key is found, CHARON exits.

  2. One or many keys are specified
    CHARON performs a qualified search for a regular license key in the specified order. If it is not found, CHARON exits (if the keyword "any" is not set).

If the keyword "any" is specified and then if no valid license has been found in the keys with specified ID’s all other available keys are examined for valid license as well.

Please note

The

: the order in which keys are specified is very important. If a valid license was found in the key which ID was not the first one specified in configuration file, then

subsequent scans may find the first key.  In other words, each scan will start with the first listed key and allocate the first "found" key.

available keys are periodically rescanned and if the key with the ID earlier in the list than the current one is found CHARON tries to find a valid license there and in case of success switches to that key.

Example for a VE license:

set session license_key_id = "VE://10.1.1.1:8083/1111-2222-3333-4444"

To configure a backup license server, add the backup license server information to the same line after the primary license server information:

set session license_key_id = "VE://<primary-licserv-IP-Address>[:<port>]/<passphrase>/, VE://<backup-licserv-IP-Address>[:<port>]/<passphrase>/"
