The following image provides an overview of the VE license server topology in a cloud environment:
Points to note:
- The license server software can be combined with the matching Charon-SSP emulator software on one instance.
- The license server can run on a separate instance in the same customer-specific cloud network environment.
- Charon host and license server do not need a public IP address. They communicate across the cloud-internal LAN environment.
- Starting with version 4.1.19, a backup license server is supported.
The decision whether the license server should run on a separate instance depends on the customer's requirements.
