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.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 CHARON-SSP for Linux software comes in two separate install packages.  The table below describes these:

Product NameDescriptionDistribution Package Name
CHARON-SSP/4M32-bit SPARC V8 virtual machine based on the sun4m architecture.charon-ssp-4m-1.0.21-x86_64_rpm.tar.gz
CHARON-SSP/4U64-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):

Note

All installation steps are required to be performed from a privileged account as denoted by the '#' prompt.

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:

titleCommand to Install glibc.i686

# yum install glibc.i686

The command above should generate output very similar to the following:
