Generating Licenses at SPDC

Before you log in to SPDC and generate licenses, gather the necessary information and complete these tasks.

Information Needed Before License Generation
Required Information or Action	License Model		Description
Required Information or Action	Served	Unserved	Description
License deployment model	X	X	Decide whether to use a served or unserved license deployment model. Typically, this is a company-wide decision that is made only once. Therefore, this is one of the most important things to determine before license generation.
Product machine host ID		X	Determine the host ID of the machine, or machine partition where the product will run.
License server – download and install	X		Download and install the SySAM license server before you generate the product licenses, and before you install the product.
License server host ID	X		Determine the host ID of the machine where the license server will run.
License server host name	X		Determine the host name of the machine where the license server will run.
License server TCP/IP port numbers	X		Determine the port numbers on which the license server will listen for license requests. Note: If you do not specify the license server port numbers during license generation, the license server uses the first available ports in the range 27000 to 27009. If a firewall exists between the server and the client machines, fix the license server port numbers to allow access to the ports. See Access Through a Firewall or VPN in the SySAM Users Guide.
