Generating a License at SPDC

Learn how to generate a license for a served and an unserved license model, regardless of license model.

The Adaptive Server installation guide (this document) has the following information about SySAM-related tasks:

Installation instructions are described in the Installing the Server With the Installer topic.
If you have problems, see the Troubleshooting SySAM topic.
For information about using SySAM for asset management, see Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.

Change to $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin. Where $SYBASE is the Sybase installation directory.
To get the host ID enter:
```
./lmutil lmhostid
```
Note: On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address. If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter. The output may look similar to:
```
The FLEXlm host ID of this machine
is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90"" 
Only use ONE from the list of hostids.
```
Choose one of these host IDs. Sybase recommends using the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loopback adapters. If you cannot determine which host ID to use from the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating system command to get additional details to help make the determination. See to the SPDC FAQ titled,“What’s my Host ID,” or “Appendix A” of the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for the exact commands for your platform.
Save the host ID so you can use it later at SPDC. Your host ID is platform-specific, but may be similar to:
- 00400516E525 on Linux platforms.
- 170a3472 on Solaris platforms.
- fb491d9 on AIX platforms.
- 972179e8-7b2b-11d7-bd55-4a651849415a on HP Itanium
