Installation guide

If you are unsure of the license quantity, select How Many Licenses Should I

Generate?.

Select an existing license server host, or enter the host ID, and an optional host name and

port number, of a new license server host.

When completing this step, use these recommendations:

•

If you do not know the license server host ID, select What Is My host ID? or see

Determining Host IDs

in the

Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users

Guide

• Although the host name is optional, Sybase recommends that you provide the host

name to ease future license administration.

• The port number is optional unless your product configuration is going to use three-

server redundancy (see the next bullet item). Any unused port number between 0 and

64000 is valid. On UNIX, choose a port number greater than 1024; most port numbers

less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If you do not specify a TCP/IP port number,

a default port between 27000 and 27009 is used.

• To generate a license for a three-server redundant configuration, enter the required

information: license server host ID, host name, and port number for all three machines.

Enter a port number outside of the 27000 to 27009 range. You must enter the fully

qualified domain name (FQDN) as the host name if any client machine requires an

FQDN to contact a license server machine.

Note: You cannot upgrade SySAM 1.0 licenses and use them in a three-server

redundant configuration.

3. Click Generate.

When the license has generated, review the information on the View Licenses page, then, if

the license information is correct and you do not need to generate additional licenses,

select one of:

•

If you generated only one license, click Download License File.

•

If you generated several licenses, click Download All Licenses for Host.

Note: Before you download and save generated licenses, you can select Print

Friendly to print a paper copy of the license.

To correct license information, click License Overview, select the license to be

corrected and click Check In to reset the license to its original state. Repeat the license

generation process, starting with step 1 of this procedure.

To generate additional licenses, click License Overview and repeat the generation

process for the additional product licenses.

5. When the File Download dialog box opens, click Save.

Save the license files with a .lic file name extension to the SYSAM-2_0/licenses

directory of the license server installation.
