Registering licenses using a network license server

Because you can install RSO components on different machines or in different Sybase directories on the same machine, Sybase recommends that you use a network license server. You can have licensee servers on many different machines, but you must have connectivity pointers to the license server. The licenses must be entered with the license server.

If you do not already have a designated network license server, you must choose one. Sybase recommends using the SySAM license manager installation in the Replication Server that is associated with your Replication Server Option. See Appendix A in the Replication Server Installation Guide for more information on setting up a network license server.

To register the RSO license with a network license server

1. Determine the location (the host and path) of your network license server and locate its $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat file.

2. Install Replication Agent on the platform of your choice.

   If you do not install Replication Agent, you will not be able to correctly configure and register your RSO license.

3. Navigate to the $SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses directory in your Replication Agent installation.

4. Open the sybpkg.rax file and copy its contents to the license.dat file of the network license server.�

5. Start the license manager on the network license server.

   For Windows:

   • From a command-line prompt, execute the following:

   cd \path\sybase
   SYBASE
   cd SYSAM-1_0\bin
   lmgr
   

   For UNIX:

   • Execute the following:

   cd /path/sybase
   source SYBASE.csh
   cd SYSAM-1_0/bin
   ./lmgr
   

   The following prompt appears:

   Do you have Sybase Software Asset Management Certificates to register?
   

6. Click Yes.

7. The SySAM License Manager window that appears prompts you for:

   • Order Number

   • Feature Name

   • Feature Count

   • Software Version

   • Authorization Code

8. Click More until you have entered all available licenses. Click Done.

9. Because you edited the license.dat file, you must notify the license daemon of the changes by executing the reread command for your platform.

   For Windows:

   • From a command-line prompt, execute the following:

     %SYBASE%\SYSAM-1_0\bin\lmutil lmreread
     

   For UNIX:

   • Execute the following:

     $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmutil lmreread
     

   All the components of your RSO are now registered with the network license server.
