Installing Server components

The Sybase IQ Server Installation media includes all of the components you need to install an IQ Server.

Sybase IQ 15.0 is the first release that allows you to install IQ on the same machine as the Sybase IQ 12.5, 12.6 or 12.7. You cannot, however, install the IQ Network Client and an IQ Server on the same machine.

Running the Sybase IQ installer

Use an account with Administrator privileges to log in to Windows. Stop and shut down all programs before you run the installer.

Insert the Sybase IQ Product DVD into the drive.

If the Sybase IQ installer does not start automatically, start Windows Explorer, change to your DVD drive, choose the appropriate setup file: setup32.bat or setup64.bat.

On the Welcome screen, click Next.

Choose an installation directory, click Next.

Choose the Licensed Edition as the product edition you want to configure, click Next.

On the next screen, choose a location, then read and accept the license agreement.

You must accept an appropriate license agreement to install Sybase IQ. You can review all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site.
When the installer prompts you for the Sybase IQ 15.0 license key(s), do one of the following:
- Use an editor to open the license you downloaded from the SPDC site, and paste the license in the license key text box.
- Click Browse, navigate to the license location, and, choose your license.
- Click Use previously deployed license server, then specify the server’s Host Name and Port Number. Use this option if you want to use a previously deployed license server.
- Click Continue installation without a license key. Use this option to install Sybase IQ in grace mode.
Click Next, then choose the appropriate Product Edition and License Type.
Click Next, then follow the instructions on the screen to complete your installation.

Notes

If you decide to install Sybase IQ in grace mode, you can install the product without a license, and activate a 30 grace period. You must obtain an appropriate license from Sybase before the grace period ends.
To verify your license, you can run the sp_iqlmconfig stored procedure in Interactive SQL (iqisql) or check the Sybase IQ error log and <dbname>.iqmsg file.
In the server log, a line beginning with “Checked out license...” indicates that the license configuration is successful. If you see a “Sysam: FLEXnet Licensing error:” message, check with your Sybase representative to resolve the issue.
