Because you can install Mirror Activator for Oracle components on different machines or in different Sybase directories on the same machine, Sybase recommends that you use a network license server. You can have licensee servers on many different machines, but you must have connectivity pointers to the license server. The licenses must be entered with the license server.
If you do not already have a designated network license server, you must choose one. Sybase recommends using the SySAM license manager installation in the Replication Server that is associated with Oracle. See Appendix A in the Replication Server Installation Guide for more information on setting up a network license server.
To register the Mirror Activator for Oracle license with a network
license server
Determine the location (the host and path) of your network license server and locate its $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat file.
Install Mirror Replication Agent on the platform of your choice.
If you do not install Mirror Replication Agent, you will not be able to
correctly configure and register your Mirror Activator for Oracle license.
Navigate to the $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses directory in your Mirror Replication Agent installation.
Open the sybpkg.mro file and copy its contents to the license.dat file of the network license server.
Start the license manager on the network license server:
On Windows, from a command-line prompt:
cd \path\sybase SYBASE cd SYSAM-1_0\bin lmgr
On UNIX:
cd /path/sybase source SYBASE.csh cd SYSAM-1_0/bin ./lmgr
The following prompt appears:
Do you have Sybase Software Asset Management Certificates to register?
Click Yes.
The SySAM License Manager window that appears prompts you for:
Order Number
Feature Name
Feature Count
Software Version
Authorization Code
Click More until you have entered all available licenses. Click Done.
Because you edited the license.dat file, you must notify the license daemon of the changes by executing the reread command for your platform.
On Windows, from a command-line prompt:
%SYBASE%\SYSAM-1_0\bin\lmutil lmreread
On UNIX:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmutil lmreread
All the components of your Mirror Activator for Oracle are now registered with the network license server.
