If you have downloaded Adaptive Server from the Web or purchased a copy of the Developer’s Edition of Adaptive Server, you do not need to use the license entry application. There is no need to enter any license key and you do not need to start up the license daemon software (referred to as SySAM).
If you have purchased the Adaptive Server software with either an Enterprise or Small Business Edition license then you must follow the steps below to set up the license information.
In the Finder, double-click the License Entry icon.
You are asked whether you have a Sybase Software Asset Management Certificate. You should have the printed certificate(s) in front of you. Click Yes to continue. If you do not have license certificates to enter, click No and proceed to the next section, “Entering Network License Management Information.”
Enter the information for the primary server license first and click Enter. The Feature Name is either ASE_SERVER or ASE_SBE.
You are asked whether or not you have additional license certificates to enter. You will have additional certificates if you purchased any optional features. If you have additional certificates click Yes and repeat the previous step to enter the information. When you are finished entering all license certificates select No to complete license entry.
Now that the license certificates have been entered start the license daemon. Execute the startd.sh script located in /Applications/Sybase/Systems/SYSAM-1_0 from the terminal window.
The license daemon needs to be started after the system is restarted.
If you are using a network license host to server as a central point to check licenses out, enter the machine name and port number for the Network License Manager license daemon. The default port number is 29722. A simplified license is written out that contains information to direct Adaptive Server to contact the remote license daemon to check out licenses.
