Deploying SySAM

Before you install OpenSwitch, plan the type of SySAM license configuration you want to use. Depending on your configuration choice, you may need to perform additional pre-installation tasks.

You can set up a local license file or a license server. See “Choosing a license model,” in Chapter 2, “Understanding Licensing Concepts and Models” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.

NoteThere can only be one instance of a SySAM license server running on a given machine. To set up a SySAM 2.0 license server on a machine that is already running a SySAM 1.0 license server, migrate the existing license server to SySAM 2.0. A migrated license server can serve licenses for both SySAM 1.0- and SySAM 2.0-enabled products.

For instructions on migrating a license server, see Appendix F of the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.

Use the commands described in Chapter 4, “License Server Administration,” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide to administer your SySAM license server. The GUI plug-in for SySAM license server administration for OpenSwitch is not available on Sybase Central™.
