Obtaining a License at SPDC or SMP

Before installing your product, choose a SySAM license model, determine license server information, and obtain license files.

When you purchase SySAM 2–enabled Sybase® products, you must generate, download, and deploy SySAM product licenses.

If you purchased your product from Sybase or an authorized Sybase reseller, go to the secure Sybase 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 Sybase or from a Sybase 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 Sybase products that use SySAM 2-based licenses.

These steps summarize the actions you must take to install a Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) license. You must refer to the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide for details.

Choose a SySAM license model.

License Model	Description
Unserved license model	Licenses are obtained directly from a license file. If you are using an unserved license, save the license file to the machine on which you install the product.
Served license model	A license server manages the allocation of licenses among multiple machines.

For the served license model, decide whether to use an existing or new license server.

The license server and your product installation do not need to share the same machine, operating system, or architecture.
If you chose the served license model, do one of:
- Install the new license server on a machine that does not have an existing license server.
- To install on a machine that is running a SySAM 1.0 license server, follow migration instructions in the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide to migrate to the newer SySAM version.
Before installing your product, get license files from SPDC or from SMP using the access information you receive from Sybase or your Sybase reseller.
