A VE license server can run in one of two basic modes of operation:

  • General VE license server mode: license server for one or more emulator instances. Customers must purchase their license from Stromasys, and use a VE-enabled emulator product. The license is based on number of emulator instances and the emulator model configuration required, and typically valid for a certain period of time (it has an expiration date), or for a defined number of runtime hours.
  • AutoVE mode (
  • AWS
  • selected cloud environments only): AutoVE is an extension of the cloud-specific Charon
  • -SSP
  • Automatic Licensing (AL) where licensing is configured automatically when the cloud instance is launched. The Charon host instance must be launched from a supported
  • AWS marketplace AMI
  • , cloud-specific marketplace image. The customer is billed by the cloud provider per instance launched, but the AutoVE license server is managed by the customer and part of the customer cloud environment.

This guide covers the Charon VE License Server software. This package contains a license server application that can be installed in customer-specific AWS, OCI, GCP, Azure, IBM, Nutanix and VMware environments, and on physical servers. This licensing option is adapted to the special requirements of virtualized environments and simplifies the process of running Charon emulator products in supported cloud and VMware environments. The license server is managed by the customer.
