No license is displayedMake sure that all the recommendations above about remote access to the host are fulfilled (if remote access takes place), that the HASP USB key is not broken and its LED indicator is lit (meaning that it is used by the host).
Only one License key / SL is seen and its content is incorrectContact STROMASYS to request a new license update.
Several License keys / SLs are displayedRemove all of them except the one provided by STROMASYS for the just installed version of CHARON.

  1. Ensure your license allows you to upgrade to that version. If not, please generate a C2V file and send it to STROMASYS for update. See CHARON-AXP for Linux utilities - 'hasp_srm_view' utility
  2. Prepare the new kit RPM files as it is described in "Before installation695402677" and "Distribution preparation695402677" sections.
  3. Stop all running CHARON-AXP instances.
  4. Make sure that no template files (i.e. "es40.cfg.template") have been used for your specific configuration otherwise copy those files to a dedicated folder.
  5. Login as "root" user.
  6. Remove the old CHARON-AXP version as described in the "CHARON-AXP for Linux deinstallation" chapter and reboot the Linux server (recommended).
  7. Proceed with the instructions on the new kit installation as described in the "Installation695402677" section.
  8. Once installation is completed, it is recommended to reboot the Linux server (possible issues with licenses detection could occur).

  9. Install the license for the new CHARON-AXP as described in the "License installation695402677" section.

  10. Start all the CHARON-AXP services stopped at step #3.
Note

If you did not reboot your Linux server at step 6, you may experience issues with 'aksusbd' service installation and then license detection.

Example:

  Installing : aksusbd-8.13-1.x86_64 1/5
Failed to execute operation: Access denied
Failed to restart aksusbd.service: Access denied

To solve this problem, remove all Charon installed product and restart from step 6 above.
