License Servers

The license server is a lightweight application that serves licenses to products running on any operating system.

A license server can run on a low-end machine or a machine with spare cycles. For example, a license server running on a Solaris UltraSparc-60 serving 100 different licenses to 200 product instances, used 50MB of memory, 5 minutes of CPU time per week, and 100MB of disk space per year.

To download the license server software and installation instructions, go to the SySAM Standalone License Server Install page at http://www.sybase.com/sysam/server and select the download link.

The license server installer is also available in the ASE_installer/sysam_setup directory.

Note: You cannot start the license server until there is at least one served license saved to the licenses directory on the license server host machine.
