The Sentinel HASP runtime is a necessary software component used to license the CHARON-SSP for GNU/ Linux virtual machine software. Without this package it is not possible to run the CHARON-SSP virtual machine software. The RPM package is included as part of the tar, gzip CHARON-SSP distribution.
The CHARON-SSP for Linux software comes in two separate install packages. To begin the installation you must first obtain the package archive. This can be downloaded from Stromasys or distributed by read-only media, such as a CD-ROM. If you do not have the software package, then please contact either Stromasys or your Value Added Reseller for further help. The table below describes these:

| CHARON-SSP/4M | 32-bit SPARC V8 virtual machine based on the sun4m architecture. | charon-ssp-4m-1.0.21-x86_64_rpm.tar.gz | | CHARON-SSP/4U | 64-bit SPARC V9 virtual machine based on the sun4u architecture. | charon-ssp-4u-1.0.21-x86_64_rpm.tar.gz |
|
To begin, unpack the distribution archive, like so (the example below shows CHARON-SSP/4M for Linux):

Prerequisites
Before installing the Sentinel HASP Runtime software, there are some prerequisite software packages to install. The following sections describe these packages
GNU C Library (i686) Installation
Before installing the Sentinel HASP runtime it is necessary to install the 32-bit compatibility version of the GNU C Library (glibc). To install this software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) based systems use the following commands:
