Starting with Adaptive Server Enterprise version 15.0, the Sybase Software Asset Management System (SySAM) implementation has changed. With these changes, SySAM configuration is no longer optional, and requires some changes in the Adaptive Server installation and configuration process. Review the updated SySAM implementation and plan your SySAM deployment before you install Adaptive Server Enterprise.
For information about how to install and configure SySAM 2.0 enabled products, see the following places for information:
For simple installations, see the Installation Guide (this document,) for instructions. No additional information should be necessary.
For more complex installations, and for general information about SySAM 2.0, see the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
WARNING! SySAM 2.0 enabled products work for an initial period without a license. If you do not install a valid license for your configuration in this grace period, the product ceases to function. For general information about SySAM 2.0, see the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
Before you install Adaptive Server with SySAM 2.0, you must decide whether you are using a served or an unserved license. For information on how to determine which is appropriate for your site, see Chapter 2, “Choosing a License Model” in the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
The Adaptive Server Installation Guide (this documented) has the following information about SySAM-related tasks:
Installation instructions are described in “Installing components with the Installer in GUI mode”.
If you have problems, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting SySAM Issues.”
For information about using SySAM for asset management, see “Installing and configuring SAMreport”.
