This step is only required under the following conditions:
- You plan to use VE licensing for your installation, AND
- you cannot use an existing VE license server making it necessary to install the license server software locally or on a dedicated system.
In this case, use the steps describe below.
1. The Charon VE License Server package is delivered as an RPM package that is not part of the Charon-PAR set of RPM packages. Stromasys or your Stromasys VAR will provide you with the software or a download link.
Package name:
license-server-<version>.rpm
Where <version> indicates the version of the software, for example, 2.2.1.
2. As a privileged user (root) go to the directory where you stored the installation package and install the package. On an instance installed from a prepackaged Charon marketplace image, the installation package is stored under /charon/storage.
Install the package:
Linux 7.x: # yum install license-server*.rpmLinux 8.x: # dnf install license-server*.rpm
Please note: the VE license server software has specific software requirements (especially in the different cloud environments and on VMware). Please refer to the VE License Server Guide in Licensing Documentation section on the Stromasys documentation page.
