If the EC2 instance on which you installed the PKCS #11 library has no other components
from Client SDK 3 installed, you must bootstrap Client SDK 3. You only have to do this

You can find the PKCS #11 library files in the following locations:
Linux binaries, configuration scripts, certificates, and log files:
/opt/cloudhsm/lib
