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.

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

When you purchase SySAM 2–enabled Sybase products, you must generate, download, and deploy SySAM product licenses.
  • 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.

See Replication Server Installation Guide > Planning Your Installation > Obtaining a License at SPDC or SMP to learn more about Replication Server product editions, and licensing options such sub-capacity licensing.
