Generating a Served License

Before you install your Sybase product set up the license server and required licenses.

Prerequisites
Before generating the licenses, determine the host ID. See Obtaining the SySAM Host ID.

Task
  1. From the welcome screen on the SPDC site, select the product family that contains the product for the license you want to generate.
  2. From the list of Sybase products select the appropriate product edition, and version. Make sure you select the product for the operating system you are using.
    The license agreement displays.
  3. If the license agreement screen displays, select the country or region to display the applicable license text, read the agreement, then click I Agree.
    Note:

    The license agreement appears only the first time you attempt to download a product. Once agree to the license, you do not see the license agreement for all subsequent downloads of that product.

  4. On the product download page, click License Keys.
    The License Information page displays.
  5. Select the license to generate.

    Verify that you are generating the correct license by comparing the product name, edition, and license type with your company's purchase order.

    Note:

    If your product requires both a server and a client license, Sybase recommends that you generate the server license first.

  6. Click Select to Generate.
  7. Select Served License, then click Next.
  8. Enter the quantity of licenses to generate, then click Next. You can generate licenses for a maximum of ten machines.
  9. Enter the License Server Host ID and, optionally, the host name and port number.
    1. A port number is not required unless you are using a three-node redundant cluster. A valid number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On UNIX, choose a port greater than 1024, since those less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If you do not specify a TCP/IP port number, one of the default ports in the range of 27000 and 27009 is used.
    2. To generate a license for a three-node redundant cluster, specify the host ID, host name, and port number for each node of the cluster. In this configuration the port number is required and should be outside of the 27000 to 27009 range.
    3. Specify redundant server information to configure your servers for three-server redundancy.
  10. Click Generate.
  11. If you have just generated a server license your product also requires a client license, repeat steps 5-10 above for the client license.
  12. Once you have generated all the licenses your product requires, you can:
    • Download the license file by clicking the Download All Licenses for Host button.
    • Print a paper copy of the license by clicking the Print Friendly button.
    • Return to the license information page to generate additional licenses.
  13. After generating the licenses, save them with a .lic extension to the licenses directory in your license server installation.
