License Deployment Models

Software licenses for SAP Mobile Platform use the Sybase® Software Asset Management (SySAM) system. SySAM provides two license deployment models from which to choose.

Unserved license – each license is granted for one specific host. The license file must be stored locally, on the SAP Mobile Platform host. The license cannot be transferred to another host.
Served license – a license is granted for a number of hosts. The license file is stored on a SySAM license server, and the license can be automatically acquired (checked out) by any SAP Mobile Platform host.

If you choose the served license model, you must deploy a SySAM license server to support the system, and you must enable network communications between the SySAM license server and all SAP Mobile Platform Runtime hosts.

Refer to the SySAM Users Guide for details.
