This chapter describes the basic licensing options available for Charon-SSP instances in cloud environments. Please note that even though other solutions may be possible the ones listed here represent the recommended solutions for Charon-SSP cloud-based solutions.

Charon-SSP requires a license to run emulated SPARC systems. For a typical cloud-based installation, there are different Charon-SSP product variants with different licensing models. As availability may differ depending on cloud environment, please contact your Stromasys representative for any questions about product availability and licensing options.

1. Old AWS marketplace image: the cloud-specific, prepackaged Charon-SSP AL (Automatic Licensing) marketplace image offers pay-as-you-go billing for Charon-SSP. Please contact Stromasys Sales should you be interested in this option. It utilizes either

• a public, Stromasys-operated cloud-specific license server, or
• a private customer-operated VE license server operating in AutoVE mode.

2. New AWS marketplace image: the cloud-specific, prepackaged Charon-SSP Amazon Linux marketplace image offers pay-as-you-go billing for Charon-SSP. It utilizes a public, Stromasys-operated cloud-specific AutoVE license server. Please contact your Stromasys representative should you require your own private AutoVE license server.

23. Charon-SSP VE (Virtual Environment) utilizing a customer-operated, private VE license server in a supported cloud environment. The license server, in this case, operates in general VE mode. Charon-SSP VE is available as a

• prepackaged marketplace image on some cloud platforms, and
• in RPM package format for a conventional installation.

These licensing options are briefly described below.
