Obtaining a License

Obtain valid SySAM licenses before you begin the installation. Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) performs license administration and asset management tasks for Sybase products.

1. Before installing your product, get license files from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com using SPDC access information you receive from Sybase or your Sybase reseller. Log in to SPDC by using the information in your SPDC welcome e-mail message.
   Note: If you purchased your Sybase software from a Sybase reseller, you receive a Web key rather than an e-mail message.
   See Replication Server Installation Guide > Before You Begin > Preinstallation Tasks > Obtaining a License to learn more about Replication Server product editions, and licensing options such sub-capacity licensing. For detailed instructions to configure SySAM licensing, see the Sybase Software Asset Management Users Guide on the SyBooks online bookshelf or on the Sybase Product Documentation Web site at http://sybooks.sybase.com.
