Starting a License Server

Copy your license to the license directory, and start the license server from a console or command line.

Prerequisites

If you installed your license server on Windows 7, you must use the Run as Administrator command to start and stop the license server.

Task

From a console or command line, copy the license file you generated to the %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses directory on the network license server.

Change to %SYBASE%\%SYSAM-2_0\%bin, then refresh or restart the license server:

Option	Description
sysam start	Start the license server. Perform this step if the license server is not running. After you perform this step, repeat step 2 to verify that the server is running.
sysam reread	Make the license server read the new license file. Perform this step if the license server is already started.

Option

Description

sysam start

Start the license server.

Perform this step if the license server is not running. After you perform this step, repeat step 2 to verify that the server is running.

sysam reread

Make the license server read the new license file.

Perform this step if the license server is already started.

To verify that the license server is running, enter sysam status.

Note: The SySAM License Server Installer installs both IPv4-only and IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack license server binaries during installation and configures use of IPv4-only binaries.
Use the sysam configure [IPv6 | IPv4] to configure the appropriate version of the license server. For example, sysam configure IPv6 will configure use of the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack binaries. For more information, see SySAM Users Guide.
