Sybase Software Asset Management

Sybase EDI Products version 5.0 and later uses Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) for license administration and asset management tasks.

SySAM-enabled components in EDI Products 5.0 and later use SySAM to perform runtime verification of licenses every time you start the product. If the required license is not available, the product does not run. This differs from the license verification in earlier versions, which was performed only during installation. See the EDI Products 5.1 Installation Guide for more information.


Installation grace periods

Most SySAM-enabled products work for an initial grace period without a license. If you do not install a valid license for your configuration within the installation grace period, the product ceases to function.

EDI Products for UNIX platforms does not currently support installation grace periods.

ECMAP Debugger does not support installation grace periods. To evaluate ECMAP Debugger, you can obtain a formal Trial License. Call 1-800-8-SYBASE.
