Charon-SSP Host-specific Configuration
The HASP manager in the Charon-SSP Manager provides quick access to selected license configuration parameters. Depending on the product version
Tools > License Tools > License Manager or Tools > HASP Tools > HASP Manager will open the license manager window:
Description of the available parameters:
| Parameters available via the license manager | |
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Allow Remote Access to ACC | When selected, other network users can access the Sentinel Admin Control Center (ACC) and perform actions on this system. Unselected by default. The Sentinel ACC provides a web-based user interface for license management. If access is enabled, it can be accessed from a remote system via a browser (URL: <target-system>:1947). For remote access ensure that a password is set for ACC in Configuration > Basic Settings. Corresponds to the parameter ACCremote in the [SERVER] section of hasplm.ini. |
| Allow Access from Remote Clients | Selecting this check box will enable remote systems to access this Sentinel License Manager. This is needed if the system acts as a license server for clients on the network. Corresponds to the parameter accessfromremote in the [SERVER] section of hasplm.ini. |
| Allow Access to Remote Licenses | When selected, this system will search for remote Sentinel License Managers on the network. Needed, if the system is to use a license served by a license manager on the network. Corresponds to the parameter accesstoremote in the [SERVER] section of hasplm.ini. |
| Broadcast Search for Remote Licenses | When selected this system will search for remote Sentinel License Managers on the local network via broadcasts. Note that the broadcast uses a random UDP port from 30000 to 65535. Any firewall between the client and the server must be configured to allow these ports in addition to the TCP port 1947. If this is disabled, the addresses of systems to search must be defined in the search parameter field. Starting with version 4.0, the license viewer in Charon-SSP performs a broadcast search independent of this parameter. Corresponds to the parameter broadcastsearch in the [REMOTE] section of hasplm.ini. |
| Remote License Search Parameters | Defines the specific systems that will be searched by this system in order to detect remote Sentinel License Managers and licenses served by them. Systems are specified by their IP addresses (for example, 10.1.1.17), by the broadcast addresses of an address range (for example, 10.1.1.255), or by the system name (for example, system1.example.com). When using the IPv6 protocol, use the IPv6 address format. For example, type FF02::1 to access all remote Sentinel License Managers that are part of the default local group defined in the IPv6 subnet. Corresponds to the parameter serveraddr in the [REMOTE] section of hasplm.ini. |
Charon-SSP Instance-specific Configuration
The Charon-SSP Manager offers a graphical interface for the management of Charon-SSP instances and some parts of their license requirements.
Start the Charon-SSP Manager with the following command as described above.
Click on the License option in the left-hand panel. In this section, a primary and a backup license key can be defined. This is useful if there is a permanent license and a backup license limited to a certain number of hours runtime. In this case, the parameters in this section avoid the unintentional depletion of the backup key hours. The parameters can also be used to define the correct key should Charon-SSP identify the key for a different product as the default key by mistake.
The following example shows the configuration window of a current Charon-SSP version. Older versions may not show all the configuration fields.
For HASP licenses, add the desired license IDs for the primary and backup key (Regular license ID and Backup license ID). To identify the license ID of all installed licenses on non-Baremetal installations, run the command:
|
Alternatively, use the license viewer tool in Charon-SSP Manager to display the licenses.
The Virtual Environment fields are used to configure the VE license server(s) to be used. Please refer to Virtual Environment (VE) License Server Documentation.
