If you are using a SySAM License Server, Adaptive Server
15.0.3 is linked with FLEXnet Publisher version 10.8.5 for Windows
32-bit and 11.5 for Windows 64-bit. If you use a SySAM License Server,
it is required that you update the license server to at least this
version before installing Adaptive Server 15.0.3. You can check
the version information of your license server by examining the
license server log or executing the following command:
cd %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin lmutil lmver lmgrd
Refer to “Installing a new license server” section for instructions on how to install the license server. If you are managing FLEXnet licenses from multiple vendors, refer to SySAM Users Guide for more information.
For simple installations follow the instructions in this book. No additional information should be necessary.
The Adaptive Server Installation Guide (this document) has the following information about SySAM-related tasks:
Installation instructions are described in “Installing server components in GUI mode”.
If you have problems, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting SySAM Issues.”
If you decide to retrieve the SySAM license before running the installer, you should:
Decide the SySAM license model to use. The choices are:
The unserved license model – retrieves licenses directly from the license file. If you are using an unserved license, save the license to the machine on which you have installed Adaptive Server or specify the license during the Adaptive Server installation.
The served license model – uses a license server to manage the allocation of your licenses to multiple machines. See the following for more information.
For information about served and unserved licenses, and which model is best suited for your environment, see Chapter 2, “Choosing a License Model” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
If you plan to use a served license, you need a license server. Decide whether it is an existing license server or a new license server. The license server need not be on the same machine or running on the same operating system and architecture.
If you are going to use an existing license server, you must know the server host name and port number.
For information about creating a new license server before installing Adaptive Server, see “Installing a new license server”.
If you are planning to create a new license server on the same machine, you can specify the license file during the Adaptive Server installation. The Adaptive Server installation sets up the license server for you.
There can be only one instance of a SySAM license server
running on a given machine. If you want to set up a SySAM 2.0 license
server on a machine that is already running a SySAM 1.0 license
server, the old license server must be migrated to 2.0. A migrated
license server can serve licenses for both SySAM 1.0 and SySAM 2.0
enabled products.
Please see Appendix F of the Sybase Software Asset Management User's Guide for instructions on migrating a license server.
For information about choosing a license server host, see the “Choosing a license server host” section in Chapter 2, “Choosing a License Model” of the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
For information about license server administration, see Chapter 4, “License Server Administration” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
Retrieve your license files from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) before installing Adaptive Server. For information about accessing SPDC, see “Accessing SPDC”, and for information about generating your licenses at SPDC, see “Generating licenses at SPDC”.
