Installation guide
Warning! If you do not save the license files with a .lic extension, SySAM does not
recognize the licenses.

After you save the license files to the license server, enter on the machine where your
license server is running:
sysam reread
Your new licenses are registered with the license server.
Regenerating, Renewing, and Rehosting Licenses
Learn when licenses must be regenerated, renewed, and rehosted.
Licenses must be upgraded to the latest versions when:
• Your support contract is renewed. Updated licenses enable you to use the newest versions
of the products that become available during your support period.
• A new product version is added to your entitlement.
Licenses need to be rehosted when:
• You entered incorrect machine information when generating the license.
• The host ID of the machine has changed due to a hardware upgrade.
• You transfer products to a new machine.
You can either upgrade or rehost all licenses that were previously generated for a specific host
(see
Managing License Hosts
in the
Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users
Guide
), or you can modify individual licenses (see
Modifying Individual Licenses
in the
Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide
).
Managing License Hosts
Learn how to manage licenses of license hosts.
1. Select Licenses on the left pane of the SPDC main page, and then select Manage License
Hosts.
2.
Select or search for the existing license host.
3.
Select one of these buttons to perform the desired operation on all licenses previously
generated for the specified host:
•
Upgrade All – upgrades all licenses on the host to their latest versions.
•
Re-host All – migrates all licenses to a new host. You provide details on the next
screen.
•
Return All – returns all licenses to the available licenses pool for future redeployment.
If you select Upgrade All or Re-host All, new licenses are sent via e-mail message to your
e-mail address, and to any additional e-mail addresses you specify.
