Generating an Unserved License

Learn how to generate an unserved license.

Prerequisites
Before generating licenses, determine the host ID. See Obtaining the SySAM Host ID.
  1. From the Product List page on the SPDC, select the product family that contains the product for the license you want to generate.
  2. From the list of Sybase products, select the appropriate product edition and version. Make sure you select the product for the operating system you are using.
  3. When the license agreement screen appears, select the appropriate country or region, read the agreement, then click I Agree.
    Note:

    The license agreement appears only the first time you attempt to download a product. Once you agree to the license, you do not see the license agreement for any subsequent downloads of that product.

  4. On the Product Download page, click License Keys.
  5. Select the license to generate.

    Verify that you are generating the correct license by comparing the product name, edition, and license type with your company's purchase order.

    Note:

    If your product requires both a server and a client license, Sybase recommends that you generate the server license first.

  6. Click Select to Generate.
  7. Select Unserved License and click Next.
  8. Select the number of machines to license and click Next. You can generate licenses for a maximum of 10 machines.
  9. Enter the host ID, and optionally, the host name for each machine for which you want to generate a license.

    For some license types, you must enter the number of CPUs or licenses for the machine where this license is used.

  10. Click Generate.
  11. If you have just generated a server license, your product also requires a client license. Repeat steps 5 – 10 above for the client license.
  12. Once you have generated all the licenses your product requires, you can:
    • Download the license file by clicking Download All Licenses for Host.
    • Print a paper copy of the license by clicking Print Friendly.
    • Return to the license information page to generate additional licenses.
  13. After generating the licenses, save them with a .lic extension to the licenses directory in your license server installation.
