Installation guide

Although the installation media includes a copy of the most recent SySAM license server, we recommend that

you periodically check for updates at http://service.sap.com/patches .

When using SySAM sub-capacity licensing, set the SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY environment variable before

installing, or copy in the license key after installation.
