About this Guide

Contents

Intended Audience

This guide is intended for anyone who needs to install, configure, or manage the Stromasys Charon Virtual Environment (VE) license server. A general working knowledge of Linux and its conventions is expected.

VE stands for "Virtual Environment". At the time of writing, this term refers to supported cloud and VMware environments. For Charon emulator products using such licenses, customers must purchase their license from Stromasys. This is different from the cloud-specific Charon-SSP Automatic Licensing (AL) images where licensing is configured automatically when the cloud instance is launched.

This guide covers the Charon VE License Server software. This package contains a license server application that can be installed in customer-specific AWS, OCI, GCP, Azure, IBM and VMware environments (additional platform support is planned for future versions). This licensing option is adapted to the special requirements of virtualized environments and simplifies the process of running Charon emulator products in supported cloud and VMware environments. The license server is managed by the customer.

Please note: VE licenses provided by a VE license server require VE-enabled Charon emulator software.
At the time of writing this support was available for Charon-SSP (starting with Charon-SSP version 4.2.x). For a full description of Charon-SSP configuration and management aspects that are not related to the specifics of the VE license application, please refer to the Charon-SSP user's guide of you version (see CHARON-SSP for Linux).
