SySAM (Sybase Software Asset Management) is a licensing mechanism that:
Provides System Administrators with a means to monitor their site’s use of Sybase products and optional features.
Records the Sybase software being used and licensed.
SySAM verifies that a valid license exists for a desired DirectConnect product or feature.
For purposes of licensing, DirectConnect products are
referred to as DirectConnect features.
The basic components of SySAM are:
One or more DirectConnect features
A license file
The SySAM software, which consists of a license manager and management utilities
When you install DirectConnect, a SySAM license manager is automatically installed. However, after installation, you have two choices:
You can install the license manager on your local machine.
You can install the license manager on a remote machine and then point to it from your local machine. To accomplish this, you enter the host name and port number of the remote machine on the License Host Request window. Then, you enter the licenses on the remote machine that will be checking them. For more information about SySAM during installation, see Chapter 4, “Installing DirectConnect.”
Sybase recommends that you have one license manager and have all remote machines point to that license manager. You can have many license managers on many different machines, but you must be sure that you have connectivity pointers to the remote machines, and that the licenses are entered on the machine the license manager is running on.
