The license section contains general license information related to ownership and administration.
There is one license section per license key.
Please note that In in rare cases, you may receive an empty USB dongle for which command outputs will show that no license information was detected. In such cases, request a license update from Stromasys as described in Updating a License.

- Released product expiration date: for time-based licenses. Note that at the time of writing the license of Charon-AXP/VAX products will expire at the end of the day of the expiration date, the license of Charon-SSP in the early morning of the expiration day. The exact behavior of the different versions can change without prior warning. Not supported for HL-MAX dongles.
- Runtime counter: used for backup licenses: number of license checks after which the license will be disabled. Default check interval is one hour. The counter will be decreased at the start of the emulator and then at every license check interval. Once the counter has been depleted, the license becomes invalid. This license type is typically used on licenses intended as backup licenses.
- Login interval or Check interval: frequency of license checking during emulator execution (default 1 hour). This parameter is not visible in the show command output in older Charon product version. It is visible in the show command output of newer versions, starting with Charon-AXP/VAX 4.9 and Charon-PAR 1.10.
- Network license: indicates that a physical license is a network license
- Number of processes: maximum overall number of Charon instances that are allowed to run concurrently.
This parameter is set by Stromasys to the value matching the respective customer contract. For network dongles, the maximum possible value of this parameter is determined by the type of network dongle. For example: on a NetTime10 dongle this parameter can be set to a value between 1 and 10 (depending on the customer contract). The type of dongle can be viewed via Sentinel ACC.
...
If any of the conditions are no longer met (too many instances, past expiration date, all checks exhausted), the feature becomes invalid and will not allow an emulator instance (or an additional instance) to run.
