The FIX adapter requires a separately purchased license that you can obtain from the SAP Product Download Site. It supports the standard SySAM grace period, which means you can run it unlicensed for 30 days. After this period, you cannot run the adapter without a valid license.

If you purchased your product from SAP or an authorized SAP reseller, go to the secure SAP Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com and log in to generate license keys. The license generation process may vary slightly, depending on whether you ordered directly from SAP or from an SAP reseller.

If you ordered your product under an SAP contract and were directed to download from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), you can use SMP at http://service.sap.com/licensekeys to generate license keys for SAP products that use SySAM 2-based licenses.
