This guide is intended for anyone who needs to install, configure, or manage the Stromasys Charon-SSP Virtual Environment (VE) license server. A general working knowledge of PC operating systems Linux and their its conventions is expected.

VE stands for "Virtual Environment". The At the time of writing, this term refers to supported cloud environments and (planned for future versions) VMware ESXi environmentsonly. For Charon-SSP products using such licenses, customers must purchase their license from Stromasys. This is different from the cloud-specific Charon-SSP Automatic Licensing (AL) images where licensing is configured automatically when the cloud instance is launched.

...

VE licenses provided by a VE license server require a specific variant of the Charon-SSP software (available starting with Charon-SSP version 4.2.x). The tests examples in this guide were partially performed created with a pre-release of version 4.2. For a full description of Charon-SSP version 4.2 aspects that are not related to the specifics of the VE license application, please refer to the your Charon-SSP user's guide.

For additional information about this product, please contact Stromasys at the regional addresses below or contact your Stromasys VAR.
