6.2.2 SySAM License Server

If you choose to use the served licensed model, make sure you have installed the required SySAM license server

version.

The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any operating system.

A license server can run on a low-end machine or a machine with spare cycles. For example, a license server

running on a Solaris UltraSparc-60 serving 100 different licenses to 200 product instances, used 50MB of

memory, 5 minutes of CPU time per week, and 100MB of disk space per year.

SAP ASE 16.0 requires SySAM 2.3 or later. To determine the current license server version, use the sysam

version command.

Note

This command is not available in SySAM version 2.0 and earlier.

Download the latest SySAM version from http://service.sap.com/patches .

SAP ASE 16.0 and SySAM 2.3 use FlexNet Publisher version 11.11.

To check the version of FlexNet Publisher used by your license server, examine the license server log or execute

the lmgrd -v command.

The license server installer is available in the <ASE_installer>/sysam_setup directory.

Note

You cannot start the license server until there is at least one served license saved to the licenses directory on

the license server host machine.

6.2.3 Determining Host IDs

When you generate licenses at SMP, you must specify the host ID of the machine where the licenses will be

deployed.

Context

● For unserved licenses, specify the host ID of the machine where the product will run. If you are running a

product with per-CPU or per-CHIP licensing that supports SySAM sub-capacity, and you want to run the

product in a virtualized environment, see SySAM Sub-capacity Licensing in the SySAM Users Guide for

information about determining the host ID for unserved licenses.

● For served licenses, specify the host ID of the machine where the license server will run.

SMP remembers the host information so that you can select the same license server when generating additional

licenses.
