Adding feature licenses

Feature licenses can be added using UNIX or Windows.

To add a license on UNIX

1. Verify that the license manager software is running. See “SySAM administration”.

2. Log on to the machine where the license manager is installed (license host).

3. Launch the license manager:

   $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmgr
   

4. You should see the following prompt:

   Do you have Sybase Software Asset Management Certificates to register?
   
   

   Click Yes.

5. The SySAM License Manager screen prompts you for:

   • Order Number

   • Feature Name

   • Feature Count

   • Software Version

   • Authorization Code

6. Click More until you have entered all licenses.

7. Click Done.

8. Because you are adding licenses to an existing configuration, you must notify the license daemons of the changes by issuing a reread command.

   Run the license management utility lmutil lmreread from the $SYBASE/$SYSAM_SYSAM/bin/ directory:

   $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmutil lmreread
   

9. The new license is appended to the end of the license.dat file.

If you encounter problems with new licenses, check the lmgrd.log file in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/log directory to see that they were properly appended to the license file.

To add a license on Windows

1. Start the license manager if it is not currently running:

   From the Windows Start menu, select Programs | Sybase | Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM).

2. The following prompt appears:

   Do you have Sybase Software Asset Management Certificates to register?”
   

   Click Yes.

3. The SySAM License Manager screen prompts you for:

   • Order Number

   • Feature Name

   • Feature Count

   • Software Version

   • Authorization Code

   Click More until you have entered all available licenses, then Click Done.

4. Because you are adding additional licenses to an existing configuration, you must notify the license daemons of the changes.

   From a command-line prompt, enter:

   %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ECON%\bin\lmutil lmreread
   

If you encounter problems with new licenses, check the lmgrd.log file in the %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\bin\ directory to see that they were properly appended to the license file.
