Regenerating, Renewing, and Rehosting Licenses

There are certain circumstances under which you might need to regenerate, renew, or rehost Adaptive Server licenses.

Licenses must be upgraded to the latest versions when:
  • Your support contract is renewed. Updated licenses enable you to use the newest versions of the products that become available during your support period.

  • A new product version is added to your entitlement.

Licenses need to be rehosted when:
  • You entered incorrect machine information when generating the license.

  • The host ID of the machine has changed due to a hardware upgrade.

  • You transfer products to a new machine.

You can either upgrade or rehost all licenses that were previously generated for a specific host (see Managing License Hosts in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide), or you can modify individual licenses (see Modifying Individual Licenses in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide).
