Installation guide

Your account can have the same product licensed under multiple license types. Make sure you
select the correct license type when you generate your SySAM license file.
When you generate licenses, each license type is presented on the License Information screen
in bold font. For example:
License Type: CPU License (CP)
Note: The End User License Agreement for your region, available from the Sybase Software
Licenses Web page at http://www.sybase.com/softwarelicenses , contains a definition for each
license type. It also describes rights of use, such as whether licenses can be used only on a
specific machine, partition, or resource set, or can float and whether you need more than one
license for use on a specific machine, partition, or resource set. In addition, check the Product
Specific License Terms Web page at http://www.sybase.com/pslt .
Optional Feature Licenses
Some Sybase applications are offered as base products with optional features that require a
separate license.
Customers can mix license types. For example, customers can order Adaptive Server
®
Enterprise under the Server License (SR) license type and order an optional feature (for
example, High Availability or Enhanced Full Text Search) under the CPU License (CP) type.
Optional features are licensed only with the base product of the same product edition. For
example, if you order Adaptive Server Enterprise, you cannot use a Small Business Edition
optional feature license with the Enterprise Edition base product. In addition, the entitled use
of the license types must be compatible; for example, both types should allow use in a
production environment.

Typically, this is a company-wide decision that is
made only once. Therefore, this is one of the
most important things to determine before li-
