Activate your SySAM license

After installation of the RAP core components, check the SySAM license type (the default is CP) and change the type, if necessary.

To check the license type, run the stored procedure sp_lmconfig on your RAPCache server:
```
1> sp_lmconfig
2> go
```
To change the license type to SF or DT to match your license file, run the appropriate command:
```
1> sp_lmconfig ‘license type’, ‘SF’
2> go
```
or
```
1> sp_lmconfig ‘license type’, ‘DT’
2> go
```
Shut down the RAPCache server.
Copy the license file saved from SPDC to the $RAP30/RAPCache/SYSAM-2_0/licenses directory on the host machine. (See “Obtaining your SySAM license”.)

If you use the ftp utility to transfer the license file, be sure to specify ASCII mode.
If you are using a served license, use the following command in the $RAP30/RAPCache/SYSAM-2_0/bin directory to start the license server:
```
sysam start
```
You must have at least one served license in the licenses directory $RAP30/RAPCache/SYSAM-2_0/licenses, or the error “License Manager: Can’t initialize...” is reported when you attempt to start the license server.
Restart the RAPCache server as described in “Start the RAPCache server”.

To verify your license, you can run the sp_lmconfig stored procedure in Interactive SQL (isql) or check the ASE error log. In the ASE error log, a line beginning with “Checked out license...” indicates that the license configuration is successful. If you see a “Sysam: FLEXnet Licensing error:” message, check with your Sybase representative to resolve the issue.
