Logging in to SPDC and Beginning License Generation

Once you log in to SPDC and begin license generation, complete your product’s license generation using the procedure that applies to the license deployment model you chose, either for generating served licenses or for generating unserved licenses.

If your product has been ordered from a Sybase reseller, perform the “Web Key step” instructions, where noted.
  1. Go to the SPDC login page at https://sybase.subscribenet.com.
  2. Enter the login ID and password, then click Login. If you forget your password, click Password Finder.
    Your password is sent to you in an e-mail message.

    • Enter the authorization string from the Web Key Certificate provided by the reseller when your Sybase product was purchased, then click Submit Web Key.

    Note: If you do not know your SPDC account login ID and password, or Web Key Certificate authorization string, contact the person who ordered your product.

    • At the Web Key Registration page, enter your account information, then click one of these options:

      • Submit My Registration Information – to register your product using your direct account information.

      • Anonymous Activation – to activate your product anonymously.

  3. Select the product family that includes the product for which you want to generate a license; for example, Adaptive Server Enterprise.
  4. Depending on the product family you choose, you may see an additional Product Information page.

    1. Product suites – if your product is included in one or more suites, select the suite that includes your product; for example, ASE Small Business Edition.

    2. Product version and platform – select the product version, name, and operating system that matches your product order.

  5. If this is the first time you selected a specific product edition and platform, you must accept the Sybase License Agreement before you are allowed to generate a license for that product.
  6. If your product software installation requires a license key (also referred to as the license file), click License Keys on the Product Download page.
  7. On the License Information page:

    1. Select the option button to the left of the product for which to generate a license; for example, “CPU License (CP), ASE Enterprise Edition 15.7 for Sun Solaris SPARC 64-bit.”

    2. Scroll down and click Select to Generate.

  8. In the Generate Licenses wizard, choose a license deployment model:

    • Served license – go to Generating Served Licenses in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide to complete the license generation and download process.

    • Unserved license – go to Generating Unserved Licenses in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide to complete the license generation and download process.

    Note: Some Sybase products or license types do not offer a choice of license deployment models and do not display this page. If this is the case, continue through the Generate Licenses wizard to generate your license.
    Click Next.
