StepDescription for Generating a C2V File
1Open the license (or HASP) update tool as described above:


2

Click the tab labeled Export C2V File. Then select the type of license in License type drop-down box. There are two options to choose from:

  • Hardware License – ensure that the USB HASP key is connected to the host system. If several hardware licenses are connected and you need to create a C2V file for a specific one,

    • use Sentinel ACC to create the C2V file, or

    • temporarily remove all but the one relevant dongle (versions before version 2.0), or

    • enter the license ID of the relevant license in the License ID field (available starting with version 2.0).

  • Software License – ensure that no conflicting licenses are attached.

    • If this option is selected, the Charon-SSP Manager assumes that a fingerprint for a new software license or a C2V to update an existing software license should be created. It checks if there is already an existing license.

      • If yes, the steps below will create a C2V file to request an update to this existing license.

      • If no, the steps below will create a fingerprint file to request a new software license.

    • In versions before version 4.0, remote network licenses (software or hardware licenses) impact correct fingerprint creation. They can be temporarily disabled via the license manager or in Sentinel ACC.

    • If a conflicting USB HASP key is attached, a C2V file may be created for the existing USB dongle instead of a fingerprint file. If the dongle cannot be removed and you need to create a fingerprint file, please use the hasp_srm_view -fgp command instead (not available on Baremetal).

    • The option to select a specific license for C2V (update) creation is not available if the software license option is selected. Alternative options to select a specific license are C2V creation using Sentinel ACC or the command-line tool hasp_srm_view -c2v -key <license-id> <filename>.

  • Provide a file name in the C2V file field.

  • Specify where the C2V file should be saved on the local system (where the manager is running) by clicking the path adjacent to the Location label.

  • Click the button labeled Apply.

After a few moments the utility will respond with a confirmation box similar to the example.

Click the button labeled OK to proceed.
