SySAM (Sybase Software Asset Manager) is a licensing mechanism that:
Provides System Administrators with a means to monitor their site’s use of Sybase products and optional features
Enables select Replication Server 12.6 features
Enables failover to registered installations of Replication Server in the event of failure
As part of the installation process, you must register your Replication Server license through SySAM.
SySAM “checks out” licensed features to users, and checks them back in when they are no longer needed. The basic components of SySAM are:
The Replication Server feature
One or more license files
The SySAM software, which consists of a license management daemon and a Sybase daemon
Figure A-1 shows the relationship between these components.
