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
Mount the CD.
On HP-UX:
/etc/mount -F cdfs -o ro, rr device_name /cdrom
where:
device_name – is the CD drive.
/cdrom – is the directory where the CD is to be mounted.
On IBM AIX:
/usr/sbin/mount -v 'cdrfs' -r device_name /cdrom
where:
device_name – is the CD drive.
/cdrom – is the directory where the CD is to be mounted.
The location of the mount command
is site-specific, and might be different than what is shown
in these instructions. If you cannot mount the CD drive using the
path shown, consult your operating system documentation or contact
your operating system administrator.
On Linux and Linux on POWER:
$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
On Solaris:
The operating system mounts the CD automatically.
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.

Obtain the host ID for the machine on which the new license server will run:
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, the 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.
Go to:
$SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/bin
Enter:
./sysam start
Validate that the license daemon is running:
./sysam status
See Chapter 4, “License Server Administration,” in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide for more details.
