Licensing Replication Agent in an RSO Installation
Before installing Replication Agent as part of RSO, choose a SySAM license model,
determine license server information, and obtain license files.
When
you purchase SySAM 2–enabled Sybase products, you must generate, download, and
deploy SySAM product licenses.
If you purchased your product from Sybase or an authorized Sybase reseller,
go to the secure Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com and log in to generate license
keys. The license generation process may vary slightly, depending on whether
you ordered directly from Sybase or from a Sybase reseller
If you ordered your product under an SAP® contract and were directed to
download from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), you can use SMP at http://service.sap.com/licensekeys to generate license keys
for Sybase products that use SySAM 2-based licenses.
Choose a SySAM license model.
License Model
Description
Unserved license model
Licenses are obtained directly from the license file. If you are
using an unserved license, save the license file to the machine on which
you install the product.
Served license model
A license server manages the allocation of licenses among multiple
machines.
For the served license model, decide whether to use an existing or new license
server.
The license server and your product installation need not share the same
machine, operating system, or architecture.
If you chose the served license model:
To install on a machine
that is running a SySAM 1.0 license server, follow migration instructions in
the SySAM Users Guide to migrate to the newer SySAM version.
Note: There can be only one instance of a SySAM license server
running on a given machine. To set up a SySAM 2 license server on a machine
that is already running a SySAM 1.0 license server, you must migrate the old
license server to SySAM 2. A migrated license server can serve licenses for
both SySAM 1.0 and SySAM 2-enabled products.
Get your host IDs.
When
you generate licenses at the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) or SAP
Service Marketplace (SMP), you must specify the host ID of the machine where the
licenses will be deployed.
For unserved licenses – the host ID of the machine where the product
will run. If you are running a product with per-CPU or per-chip licensing
that supports SySAM sub-capacity and want to run the product in a
virtualized environment, see SySAM Sub-capacity Licensing in
the SySAM Users Guide.
For served licenses – the host ID of the machine where the license
server will run.
Before
installing your product, get license files from SPDC or from SMP using the
access information you receive from Sybase or your Sybase reseller.
Log in to SPDC or SMP by using the information in your welcome e-mail
message.
Note: If you purchased your Sybase software from a Sybase reseller,
you may receive a Web key rather than an e-mail message.
If you plan to use sub-capacity licensing, see the SySAM Users Guide
for information on how to configure using the sysamcap
utility.
