Before you install EAServer:
If you plan to migrate existing EAServer 5.x entities to EAServer 6.2, see the EAServer Migration Guide for more information.
Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that you are installing.
Release bulletins are included on the Getting Started CD that is included with your software.
If you are reinstalling EAServer 6.2 or adding components or features, review the instructions described in “Reinstalling or adding components”.
If you are upgrading your license, see “Upgrading your license”.
Install operating system patches, if required. Required operating system patches are described in the release bulletin for the product.
Verify that you have enough space to install the software—see “System requirements”.
Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable and a temp directory with at least 180MB. The installation program uses the extra space and directory to write files temporarily during the installation. The installation program frees this space after the installation is complete.
Close any EAServer applications and application servers that run as Windows services.
Obtaining a license for EAServer
EAServer 6.2
uses runtime license management. This requires you to go to the Sybase Product Download Center at the end of the
installation (by selecting the Launch the Sybase Product Download
Center (SPDC) check box when prompted) and getting a license for
any edition other than the Developer’s edition. A license
is no longer supplied with your software.
