General description
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP products are protected by licenses issued on a customer basis by STROMASYS Inc. The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP license defines all the specifics of a particular CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP distribution and its usage.
The license is implemented in the form of a hardware dongle (a Sentinel HASP key) or a software license. Please be careful with your license key, in case of loss or damage, the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDPinstances will AXP instances will not run or start until the license key is replaced. For extra protectionredundancy, STROMASYS recommends the recommends to use of a a backup license key (purchased separately) that can replace the main license key for a restricted period of time. It is possible to specify the backup license in the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP configuration file to prevent CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP from stopping in case the main license dongle is no longer accessibleavailable.
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP license is read AXP license being checked upon the start of each instance of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP and at a specified interval (defined by the license content) during the emulated system execution (default is 1 hour). If CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP detects the absence (or malfunction) of the license key or software license, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP will try AXP will try to use a backup license (if specified in the configuration file). If the license is not available or not specified, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP displays AXP displays a warning message in the log file requesting the license key reconnection or software license reactivation. If the license is not reconnectedor reconnected or reactivated within a given period of time (the check interval), CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP exits.
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP main license is time restricted or unlimited, the backup license is limited by the number of executions (1 execution = 1 interval check)
Note that if the time-restricted license is used and it expires, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP tries to find its replacement automatically and, if found, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP proceeds using the replacement license.
Warning |
---|
The present CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP implementation requires that the expired license be removed to allow the running CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP instance to AXP instance to switch to a valid one. The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP software license is not distributed for Proof-of-Concept and evaluation installations. Only hardware dongles are could be used in this cases. It is important to connect the HASP keep the HASP license keys connected to the a computer powered on, even if CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP is not running, because the keys contain a built-in accumulator battery that needs to be charged. If the accumulator battery is completely discharged, the license key can be irreparably damaged. |
Update of the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP license can be performed on the fly without stopping CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP. All the parameters including the AXP. The expiration date and time execution counter can be updated w/o any restrictions., however the CHARON-AXP virtual hardware configuration should remain unchanged. At the next license check, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP will use the updated license normally.
CHARON supports the "driverless" mode of the new generation Sentinel protection keys ("Sentinel HL"). Note that installation of Sentinel drivers is still required if the new generation HASP network key is going to be used to serve CHARON instances running on other hosts.

CHARON-AXP technical licensing models
CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP licensing models are divided into 3 groups:
Regular Sentinel HASP keys
This is the most common way of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP licensing.
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP license is embedded in a Sentinel HASP dongle. This license is available only on the host where the dongle is physically installed.
The CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP installation AXP installation procedure takes care of the Sentinel HASP run-time (driver) installation. Once the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP product has been installed, it is possible to plug in the regular license key and proceed with using CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP without AXP without additional configuration steps.
Info |
---|
The number of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP instances allowed to run on a particular host may be restricted by the license content (see above). |
Network Sentinel HASP keys
The Network Sentinel HASP key (red dongle) can be shared between several hosts running CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP (including the host on which the network license is installed).
If CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP is installed on the host where the network key is connected, no additional steps are required. The Sentinel driver is activated as part of the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP installation. If the host does not have CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP installed, the host can still distribute the connected network license to CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP instances running on other hosts. In this case the Sentinel driver must be installed on the host manually.
The Sentinel run-time driver is distributed as a part of the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP kit. Please see the "License installation" section of this chapter for details.
Once the Sentinel run-time driver is installed and the network license is connected, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP can be started on any appropriate host on the LAN network segment.
Info |
---|
The Network license key contains a specific parameter to restrict the number of hosts allowed to run CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP at the same time. Together with a parameter defining the number of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP instances that may run at the same time, the network license sets the total number of running CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP instances on the allowed number of hosts. |
Software licensesThe CHARON-
VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP Software License is a "virtual" key with exactly the same functionality as the hardware dongle.
The CHARON-
VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP Software License does not require any hardware but it requires installation of the Sentinel run-time environment.
Software licenses are always network-wide on Windows, so they behave the same way as Network HASP keys.
Back to Table of ContentsMultiple licenses configuration and backup license
For any type of licensing, CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP can use only oneWarning |

Software Licenses are highly dependent on hardware configuration of CHARON host. Do not change hardware configuration since it leads to disabling of installed Software License! If CHARON host has to be upgraded use the following procedure:

Multiple licenses configuration and backup license
For any type of licensing, CHARON-AXP can use only one valid ("active") license (of given vendor code) at a time.
The "HASP View" utility displays the "active" license onlya range of available licenses, but note that by default CHARON-AXP may use any of them as the "active" one - unless it is directly specified by the "license_key_id" parameter (see below). The utility provides the license number numbers and ID / IP address addresses of the host hosts where the active license is licenses are installed.

When needed, it is possible to use a special parameter in the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP configuration file to specify exactly which license must be used by each particular instance of CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDPAXP:
Parameter | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
license_key_id[N], N=0 or 1 | Numeric | A number (decimal Sentinel key ID) that specifies regular (N=0) and backup (N=1) license keys to be used by CHARON- |
AXP. Example:
It is also possible to specify both regular and backup key in one line. Example:
Depending on the presence of the regular and/or backup license key IDs in the configuration file, CHARON- |
AXP behaves differently:

License installation
Installation from scratch
Info |
---|
Before installation of license make sure that the Sentinel run-time (driver) to be installed is collected from your CHARON kit or provided by STROMASYS on request for your particular product. Do not update the Sentinel run-time (driver) from online or any other sources, including the Sentinel web site. In case of several CHARON kits containing different versions of Sentinel run-time (driver) the last one (having more recent version) must be installed. CHARON installation performs this operation automatically. |
At the moment CHARON supports Sentinel HASP keys, Sentinel HL and Sentinel Software Licenses (SL).
...
Installation of a CHARON-AXP regular or network licenses consists of:
- Installation of the Sentinel run-time
...
- environment on the CHARON-AXP host (regular and network
...
- keys
...
Please skip installation of Sentinel run-time (driver) if you use locally connected Sentinel HL keys in "driverless" mode or going to use Sentinel HL Network key in "driverless" from some other host on local network. Just connect the license key to the host and proceed with collecting "*.c2v" file (see below) if the license inside your Sentinel HL key must be updated.
Installation of a CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP regular or network licenses consists of:
- Installation of the Sentinel run-time environment on the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host (regular and network keys) or on the host that will distribute CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP licenses over a local network segment (network key only). The Sentinel software is installed automatically by CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP for Windows.
- Physical connection of the HASP license dongle to the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP host or to the host distributing the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP license over the local network segment.
- Collecting system fingerprint (*.c2v file), sending it to STROMASYS and applying update (*.v2c file) in case of software license. See the details below.
- Open the CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP kit folder
- Switch to the "hasp_install" subfolder
- Unzip the archive located in this folder
- Open "cmd.exe" and switch to the folder where the files were unzipped
Issue:
...> haspdinst.exe -fr -kp -nomsg
...> haspdinst.exe -install -cm
Info Sentinel HL keys can be provided both in "driverless" and regular modes. To switch the Sentinel HL key to "driverless" mode it is required to install Sentinel run-time first as described above and apply a special *.v2c file that switches the key to "driverless" mode. Once it is done the Sentinel run-time can be deinstalled.
Replacement of currently installed Sentinel run-time
Replacement of currently installed Sentinel Run-time can be needed in case of installation of specific run-time provided by STROMASYS.Below please find step-by-step instructions on the run-time replacement:

Sentinel HL "driverless" mode
New license keys from Sentinel, so called "Sentinel HL" can work in 2 modes:
- Regular. The key behaves as normal Sentinel HASP key.
- "Driverless". Sentinel HL keys do not require installation of any specific run-time or drivers since they unitize HID drivers, which are an integral part of the Windows operating system.
Sentinel HL license key in "driverless" mode has the following benefits:
- Support of a higher number of features.
- Larger on-key memory space.
- No specific drivers are needed.
- No additional support software is needed for all operations with the license keys.
There is an disadvantage of using Sentinel HL in "driverless" mode: inability to use "Sentinel Admin Control Center" (see below for details) for detailed configuration of the Sentinel HL license key attached to the host.

Remove the license dongle. Note that the Sentinel run-time driver is deinstalled automatically on CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP with a complete deinstallation.
Special "backup" license keys
Backup keys are provided by STROMASYS along with standard license dongles. It is strongly recommended to order a backup key to recover immediately from damage or loss of the main license key. Backup keys use a counter (integer) value hardcoded inside the key. This integer value is a number of hours CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP is allowed to run. Each time CHARON-VAX / CHARON-PDP AXP checks the license (every hour), the value is decreased (by 1 hour). Please note that backup keys have restricted functionality:
- CHARON run time is typically limited to 720 hours (30 days). This is the time alloted to get a replacement from STROMASYS.
- A Backup license may be valid only until a certain date. Please check with STROMASYS management.
