Obtaining a License

Sybase® Software Asset Management (SySAM) is the product licensing and asset management system, which is built on FLEXnet technology from Flexera Software.

This section includes information about the SySAM licensing system that may be useful when you generate product licenses using the procedures in this document.

For complete information on SySAM, see the SySAM Users Guide.

• Understanding License Generation
  When you purchase SySAM 2–enabled Sybase products, you must generate, download, and deploy SySAM product licenses.
• Determining Your License Deployment Model
  Before you generate licenses for SySAM 2-enabled products, determine the license deployment model to use.
• Determining Host IDs
  When you generate licenses at SMP or SPDC, you must specify the host ID of the machine where the licenses will be deployed.
• Knowing the Product License Type
  Sybase sells products under different license types, which entitle the customer to different rights of use. For example, whether a product is entitled to be used in production, or standby, or development and test environments.
• Generating Licenses at SPDC
  Before you log in to SPDC and generate licenses, gather the necessary information and complete these tasks.
