Before you install and use SAMreport, keep in mind:

To use the SAMreport utility, your SySAM 2-enabled Sybase product licenses must use the served license model and you must have a SySAM license server installed.
The SAMreport download packages for Windows and UNIX platforms include the appropriate JRE. Before you run the SAMreport installer or program, verify that the Java executable is included in your PATH variable and points to the appropriate JRE version for your platform.
Installation does not require special administrator permissions.

However, if you install SAMreport on Windows platforms (NT/2000/XP/2003), the Start | Programs menu will not contain a SAMreport option unless you install the software using the Administrator role.

To start SAMreport in this situation, open the Windows Explorer, go to the SAMreport installation directory, right-click report.exe and select Run.
If you use an X-server to display SAMreport output files on a machine different from where SAMreport is running, both machines must have JRE version 1.4.x installed, including any operating system patches.
Do not use an X-emulator to display SAMreport output files on a Windows machine.
