Comment: Simplify VE server installation instructions

...

1. The Charon VE License Server package is delivered as an RPM installation package that is not part of the Charon-PAR set of RPM packages. Stromasys or your Stromasys VAR will provide you with the software or a download link.

Package name:

The packaging is different based on the VE license server version:

  • VE license server version 2.2.3 and older: license-server-<version>.rpm
    RPM package for installation on a supported Linux system.
  • VE license server version 2.2.4 and higher: license-server-<version>.rpm

...

  • .sh
    Self-extracting archive containing the end-user license agreement (EULA) and the RPM package.

In both cases <version> indicates the version of the software, for example, 2.2.1.

2. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package. On an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon marketplace image, the installation package is stored under /charon/storage.

  • For VE license server 2.2.4 and above, unpack the archive and agree to the end-user license agreement:
    • # sh license-server-<version>.rpm.sh
      This will display the EULA. After agreeing to it, the RPM installation package will be unpacked in the current directory.

  • Install the package:             
    • Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpm
    • Linux 8.x and 9.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm


Please note: the VE license server software has specific software requirements (especially in the different cloud environments and on VMware). Please refer to the VE License Server Guide in Licensing Documentation section on the Stromasys documentation page.
