You can use the SySAM license install program from the CD or download and extract the install program from the Sybase SySAM Standalone License Server download page.
Installing a new license server
Insert the CD into the CD drive. The installer should start automatically. If it does not, start the setup program manually by selecting Start | Run. Browse to setup.exe.
Launch the Sybase installer program:
.\setup
The Welcome Window displays. Click Next.
Accept the license agreement.
Enter or select the destination directory.
Select the custom installation.
Select only SySAM Network License Server for installation.
Unselect other components, to install the Net License Server only.
Click OK to install SySAM licensing tools.
Obtain the host ID for the machine on which the new license server will run:
Open a Command Prompt window and go to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin where %SYBASE% is the Sybase installation directory and SYSAM-2_0 is the directory for SYSAM-2_0.
Enter:
.\lmutil lmhostid
If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil
lmhostid returns host IDs associated with each adapter.
Choose one of the IDs. Do not use IDs for removable network adapters.
Save the host ID to use at the Sybase Product Download Center.
Go to the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC).
Select the license you want to install. See Chapter 3, “Getting and Using Your License,” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide.
Copy the license file to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses on the network license server machine.
You can set the SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE
environment variable to specify additional Sybase license sources.
By default, Sybase license file is in %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses.
Similarly, you can set LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to specify multiple vendor licenses sources.
Start the SySAM network license server.
In a Command Prompt window, go to:
%SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin

.\sysam start
Or, select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services.
