Generating Unserved Licenses

Generate and download an unserved license for your product.

  1. Enter the number of machines (up to 10) for which to generate unserved licenses, and click Next.
  2. Enter:
    • Node Host ID – enter the host ID of the machine where the product will be run. If you do not know the host ID, select What Is My Host ID? or see Determining Host IDs in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide.

    • Host Name – enter the machine host name.

    For some license types, you must enter the number of licenses to generate. If you are unsure of the license quantity, select How Many Licenses Should I Generate?.

  3. Click Generate.
  4. When the license has generated, review the information on the View Licenses page, then, if the license information is correct, select one of:
    • If you generated only one license, click Download License File.
    • If you generated several licenses, click Download All Licenses for Host.
      Note: Before you download and save generated licenses, you can select Print Friendly to print a paper copy of the license, or License Overview to return to the License Information page and generate additional licenses.
    • To correct license information before downloading the license, click License Overview, select the license to be corrected and click Check In to reset the license to its original state. Repeat the license generation process.
  5. If you chose to download licenses, when the File Download dialog box opens, click Save.
  6. Save the generated licenses with a .lic file name extension. Although $SYBASE /SYSAM-2_0/licenses is typically the directory where unserved licenses are located, your product may have a different requirement. See your product installation guide and release bulletin for product-specific information.
    Note: If you do not save the license files with a .lic extension, SySAM does not recognize the licenses.

Next, install your licensed product using the instructions in the product installation guide and release bulletin.
