Registering Adaptive Server features

If you install any components without the appropriate license information, only Adaptive Server 12.5, without licensed features, is enabled.

WARNING! The following SySAM licence manager instructions are for the installation of Adaptive Server on the primary license host. If you are installing Adaptive Server on a secondary server, see the SySAM licensing instructions in “SySAM in the network environment”.

Before logging in as “sybase”, install a password on the sybase account that you created. To create a password, as “root” enter,

# password sybase
changing password for user sybase.
New password: ********
Retype new password: ********

Now log off, and login under the X11 environment as “sybase” withe the newly created password.

Start the license manager:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmgr

The license manager prompts: “Please select a license type.”

Select ASE, and click Next.

The license manager prompts: “Do you have a Sybase Software Asset Management Certificate to register?”

Click Yes.

Enter information from the Sybase License Certificate for each Adaptive Server feature you have purchased:

The Full-text search engine has been enhanced and now requires a license to install and configure.

Order Number: Enter your Sybase order number.
Feature Name: Enter the name of the Adaptive Server feature. Valid Adaptive Server feature names are:
- ASE_SERVER
- ASE_JAVA
- ASE_DTM
- ASE_ASM
- ASE_EFTS
- ASE_XFS
- ASE_DIRS
Feature Count: Enter your license count number.
Software Version: Enter the Adaptive Server software version.
Authorization Code: Enter the license key for the purchased feature.

The installer records the information for the current feature in the license file and prompts you to enter information for an additional feature.

Entries are case sensitive. Enter the values exactly as they appear on the Sybase Software Asset Management Certificate. See Chapter 3, “Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM)” for detailed information about using the license manager.

Click More. . . if you have purchased additional licensed features. The installer records the information for the current feature in the license file and prompts you to enter information for an additional feature.

Click Done after you have entered information from all of the Sybase License Certificates you have purchased.

After you click Done, a message displays stating that the lmreread command failed with this error:

license manager: can't initialize: No SERVER lines in license file

This is expected behavior because the license daemon has not been started. The next step starts the daemon, and you can proceed with the configuration of the servers.

Start the SySAM license manager deamon:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/startd.sh $SYBASE/SYBASE_SYSAM

The installer records all license information and prompts you to configure the components you have installed. If you encounter problems, check the installation log file to see a record of the installation process. The file is located in $SYBASE/Installer.log.
