Product licensing with SySAM 2.0
PowerBuilder uses the Sybase Software Asset Management System (SySAM)
for product licensing. If you have purchased PowerBuilder, you have either a
standalone local license or a served license.
For more information about licensing, see the
SySAM Documentation at
http://www.sybase.com/sysam

or troubleshooting help, see “Troubleshooting SySAM issues” on page 28.
Installing a standalone
local license
Typically, you must have a license file to install PowerBuilder on your
computer. You can download a license file from the
Sybase Product Download
Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com
. If you are evaluating
PowerBuilder, refer to the information provided with your DVD or download.
Evaluation versions of PowerBuilder are usually valid for 30 days and do not
require a license file.
If you purchase PowerBuilder from Sybase, you receive an e-mail with a URL,
your login, and your password for the SPDC. If you purchase PowerBuilder
from a Sybase reseller, you receive a certificate with a Web key registration
number and a download URL.
You must provide the host ID and computer name of the computer where you
want to install a local license when you contact the SPDC. If you have not
obtained your license information before you run the setup program, you can
find the host ID and computer name on the License Key page in the setup
program.
Installing a served
license
If you are installing a served license, your organization needs a license server.
The license server controls license availability and allows you to use licenses
as needed. Using a served license makes license maintenance much easier for
organizations with multiple workstations, since a single license for all
workstations can be centrally managed.
To install a served license, you must know the server name. You may also need
the TCP port number if the administrator who installed the license server
defined a TCP port number that is different from the default. In this case, you
must specify this user-defined TCP port number.
Setting up a license
server
If you are responsible for setting up a license server, you can install a license
server using the Standalone SySAM Installer.zip file in the Support directory on
the DVD. For more information, see the chapter on license server
administration in the
Sybase Software Asset Management User Guide at
