Pre-deployment tasks for SySAM

Before you deploy SySAM:

  1. Determine the exact EDI Products package or bundle that you want to install. Before you install any SySAM-enabled product, familiarize yourself with “Sybase product licensing concepts,” in Chapter 2, “Understanding Licensing Concepts and Models” in the Sybase Software Asset Management 2.0 User’s Guide.

  2. Decide if you want to use the served or unserved license models. When you run a component with a served license and check out its license, the license is returned after running the component. However, the license is still linked for 30 days to the user who checked out the license. This ensures that users have to have the appropriate number of licenses in the “served” model.

    For more information about license models, see “Choosing a license model,” in Chapter 2, “Understanding Licensing Concepts and Models” in the Sybase Software Asset Management 2.0 User’s Guide. For some packages, you must use a specific license model. See “EDI Products licensing requirements” for more information about licensing requirements.

  3. Plan your SySAM deployment scenario. See Appendix G, “Typical Deployment Scenarios” in the Sybase Software Asset Management 2.0 User’s Guide for a suggested SySAM setup.
