When you configure your license server, you must choose between configuring for a local license file, or for a network license server.
If you are using an unserved configuration, the local licenses directory should contain all necessary licenses. You do not maintain a license server.
When you use an unserved configuration, you must activate the licenses for each machine separately; that is, you do not have centralized control over your licenses. You also do not have asset management or reporting capabilities, and your license must be rehosted if you move Replication Server from one machine to another.
In this setting, you can activate several licenses at once. You have full control over license use, and complete asset management and reporting capabilities.
Before you install Replication Server, decide which SySAM configuration to use:
Unserved model using unserved licenses
Network license server using Served licenses
If you are going to use a network license server, decide whether to use an existing license server or a new license server.
If you use an existing license server, you must know the server host name and port number.
To create a new license server before installing Replication Server, see “Installing a new license server”.
Sybase recommends that you obtain the license files
from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) before
you begin installation.
