This section provides information about how to generate a license for a served and an unserved license model. To generate your license, regardless of license model:
At the Welcome screen at SPDC, you can view all of the product families to which you have access. Select the Adaptive Server product family to generate a license.
The Cluster Edition is listed under available products. Select the Cluster edition for the operating system you are using.
The license agreement displays. You must agree to the terms and conditions in the license in order to generate a license. To do so, click I Agree.
The license agreement only displays the first time you
attempt to download a product. Once you have agreed to the license,
you will not encounter the license agreement for all subsequent
downloads of that product.
At the product download page, click the License Keys link.
The License Information page displays. Select the license you wish to generate. When you are selecting the license you wish to generate, consider:
The license type for the license you wish to generate. For more information about license types, see the “License types” in Chapter 3 “Getting and Using your License” of the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
If you are unsure what you have licensed, your company’s purchase order should have the product name, edition, and license type.
Once you’ve determined the license you wish to generate, select it via the Generate radio button on the left side of the screen. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Select to Generate.
Step one of the SySAM license generation wizard asks you to choose between a served license and an unserved license. If you choose a served license, continue with the steps in “Generating a served license”, and if you choose an unserved license, continue with the steps in “Generating an unserved license”.
Some Sybase Products or specific license types do not
give you a choice of license model to use, and therefore do not
display this page. If this is the case, proceed with the SySAM license
generation wizard to generate your license.
Select Served License and click Next.
Indicate the quantity of licenses you wish to generate and click Next.
Enter the License Server Host ID and optionally the host name and port number:
Sybase recommends that you provide the host name here to ease future license administration.
A port number is not required unless you are using a 3-node redundant cluster. A valid number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On UNIX, choose a port greater than 1024, since those less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If no TCP/IP port number is specified, one of the default ports in the range of 27000 and 27009 is used.
If you want to generate a license for a 3-node redundant cluster, then you must specify the host ID, host name, and port number for the three nodes of the cluster. The port number is not optional for this configuration and should be outside of the 27000 to 27009 range.
Be sure to get your server host ID before you began the process of generating your licenses. For information about how to get the host ID, see “Getting your host ID”. You have the option to specify redundant server information if you choose to configure your servers for three-server redundancy.
Click Generate.
Once you have generated the license, you can:
Download the license file by clicking the Download License File button.
Print a paper copy of the license by clicking the Print Friendly button.
Return to the license information page to generate additional licenses.
Once you have generated all the licenses you need, save them to the licenses directory in your license server installation.
You must save your license files with a .lic extension,
or SySAM 2.0 will not recognize them.
Sybase recommends that you set up the license server and required licenses before you install your SySAM-2.0-enabled Sybase product.
Generating
an unserved license
Select Un-served License and click Next.
Select the number of machines you want to license and click Next. You can generate licenses for a maximum of ten machines at a time.
Enter the host ID, and optionally the host name for each machine for which you want to generate a license. You should have determined the host ID before you began to generate your licenses. For information on getting your host ID and host name, see “Getting your host ID”.
For some license types, you are asked to enter the number of CPUs or licenses for the machine where this license will be used.
Click Generate.
Once you have generated the license, you can:
Download the license file by clicking the Download License File button.
Print a paper copy of the license by clicking the Print Friendly button.
Return to the license information page to generate additional licenses.
Once you have generated all the licenses you need, save them to the specific location required by your product.
You must save your license files with a .lic extension,
or SySAM 2.0 does not recognize them.
