Perform the following steps to install a new license server on a different machine from the Database Expert you want to run:
Install the licensing tools:
Insert the product CD into the CD drive. If the Database Expert Installer starts automatically, click Cancel to exit the Database Expert Installer.
On the product CD, launch the SySAM installer by executing:
SySAM\setup.exe
The Welcome Window displays. Click Next.
Accept the license agreement.
Enter or select the destination directory.
Select the Full installation.
Click OK to install the SySAM licensing tools.
Get the host ID for the machine on which the new license server will run. To get the host ID:
Open a Command Prompt window and go to %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\bin where %SYBASE% is the Sybase installation directory and %SYBASE_SYSAM% is SYSAM-2_0.
Enter:
lmutil lmhostid
If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil
lmhostid returns host IDs associated with each adapter.
Choose one of the IDs. Avoid using IDs for removable network adapters.
Save the host ID to use later at the Sybase Product Download Center.
Get the license you want to install.
Log in to your account. When you place an order for Sybase software, the Sold To and Ship To contacts become members of the Sybase Product download Center account, and their e-mail addresses are automatically added as a login. The Sold To Contact is also established as the administrator of the account. Each member receives a welcome message from the Sybase Product Download Center, which contains a login name and password. In addition, technical support contacts are added as members to the Sybase Product Download Center account.
The administrator can add new members to their Sybase Product Download Center account at any time.
Select the product for which to activate licenses.
Complete the License Activation wizard to generate required licenses. The generated licenses are displayed when the wizard completes.
Click Save All to save the license file. Make sure you save the license file with the extension .lic.
Although license files can have any name you choose,
the file extension must be “.lic”.
Copy the license file in the licenses directory %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\licenses on the network license server machine.
Start the SySAM network license server:
In a Command Prompt window, go to:
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\bin
Enter:
sysam start
Or, start the license server from the Windows Services panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services).
Validate that the license daemon is running by entering:
sysam status
Close the Command Prompt window.
