Generating a Served License

Sybase recommends that you setup the license server and required licenses before you install your SySAM 2.0-enabled Sybase product.

1. Select Served License and click Next.
2. Indicate the quantity of licenses you wish to generate and click Next.
3. Enter the License Server Host ID and optionally the host name and port number.
   1. Sybase recommends that you provide the host name here to ease future license administration.
   2. 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.
   3. To generate a license for a 3-node redundant cluster, 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.
   4. Get your server host ID before you begin the process of generating your licenses. For information about how to obtain the host ID, see the Obtaining your host ID topic. You can specify redundant server information if you choose to configure your servers for three-server redundancy.
4. Click Generate.
5. Once you have generated the license, you can:
   1. Download the license file by clicking the Download License File button.
   2. Print a paper copy of the license by clicking the Print Friendly button.
   3. Return to the license information page to generate additional licenses.
6. Once you have generated all the licenses you need, save them to the licenses directory in your license server installation.
   Note: Save your license files with a .lic extension, in order for SySAM 2 to recognize them.
