Obtaining a License

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. If you chose the served license model, do one of the following:
   • 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 license server, follow migration instructions in the Sybase Software Asset Management User's Guide to migrate to SySAM 2.
4. Before installing your product:
   • 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.
   Note: If your license is incorrectly generated or copied to an incorrect location, Event Stream Processor automatically enters a 30-day grace period. License errors or warnings, or both, appear only in the cluster log (not in the server log). When the 30-day grace period ends, Event Stream Processor cannot run until a suitable license is provided. For production environments, Sybase strongly recommends that you configure e-mail alerts during installation so you receive messages regarding license errors or warnings before the grace period ends.

For more information on SySAM licensing, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide on the Sybase Product Manuals Web site at http://sybooks.sybase.com.

• Available Licenses
  Sybase Event Stream Processor runs on various licenses that apply to the Server, the Studio, and most adapters. Some adapters are licensable, which means they require separate licenses in addition to a base license.
