SySAM pre-installation tasks  Installing a new license server

Chapter 2: Installing Database Expert

Choosing the appropriate license server configuration

When you configure your license server, you must choose between configuring for a local license file, or for a network license server.

Serverless configuration

If you are using a serverless configuration, the local \licenses directory should contain all necessary licenses. You do not maintain a license server.

When you use a serverless configuration, you must activate the licenses for each machine separately; that is, you do not have centralized control over your licenses. You also do not have asset management or reporting capabilities, and your license must be rehosted if you move Database Expert from one machine to another.
