Generating a SySAM License

Login to the Sybase Product Download Center or SAP Service Marketplace. Refer to the Web key or email message you received from Sybase for information about your account.

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

Before you generate your license, you need the host ID and host name of the server where you plan to install Sybase IQ.
Served licenses require a license server. If you do not plan to use an existing license server, you must install one before you install Sybase IQ.

Start your browser, and do one of the following:
