Before you install Mirror Replication Agent, you must decide whether to configure an unserved license or a network license server. During installation, you may choose either option. In either case, two license files called license-mrx.lic and license-dco.lic are installed in $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses (UNIX) or %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses (Windows). These licenses activate the use of the Mirror Replication Agent and ECDA Option for Oracle components of Mirror Activator. A Mirror Activator license must be obtained from the Sybase Software Product Download Center (SPDC) Web site and used for the Replication Server component of Mirror Activator.
When you are installing Mirror Replication Agent, you will see this prompt:
Will licenses be obtained from the License Server?
If you answer Yes, you can leave the license files called license-mrx.lic and license-dco.lic where they were installed ($SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses), or you can move the files to the SYSAM-2_0/licenses directory of your SySAM license server. In either case, the Mirror Replication Agent and the ECDA Option for Oracle will validate the necessary licenses.
If you answer No, no further action is needed. The Mirror Replication Agent will use the license called license-mrx.lic where it was installed in $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses, and the ECDA Option for Oracle will use the license called license-dco.lic where it was installed in $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses.
