Migrating a SySAM 1 License Server to SySAM 2

A SySAM 2 license server can grant licenses to both SySAM 1 and SySAM 2-enabled products.

1. Shut down the SySAM 1 license server.
2. Install a SySAM 2 license server on the same host using the same port number that was used for the SySAM 2 license server.
   Note: Download and install a standalone SySAM 2 license server and utilities for select operating systems from the SySAM server Web site at http://www.sybase.com/sysam/server. The download site also includes a link to the license server installation instructions.
3. (UNIX platforms only) Configure the new license server to start and stop as part of the system start-up and shutdown, or replace SySAM 1 references with SySAM 2 in any start-up scripts that were used for the SySAM 2 license server.
4. Copy the SySAM 1 license file—license.dat—to the license server SYSAM-2_0/licenses directory as license.lic. SySAM 1 licenses are usually contained in one license.dat file, located in the SYSAM-1_0/licenses directory.

   Because the SySAM 2 license server uses the same port as the old SySAM 1 license server port, you need not edit the license file header to change the port number, which identifies the port where the license server listens for license requests from SySAM-enabled products.

5. Install any new licenses in the SYSAM-2_0/licenses directory on the license server host.
6. Start the migrated license server, or issue the sysam reread command for the migrated license server to use any new licenses.
   Note: When the migrated license server starts, it reads every file with a .lic extension; and does not read any with an extension other than .lic.

• Consolidating Multiple License Servers
  If you have multiple SySAM 1 license servers, you may want to consolidate the license servers into one SySAM 2 license server.
