Locating Information in a License File

After you download a license file, you must extract some information from it to complete your installation.

  1. Use a text editor to open your license file.
  2. Locate the uncommented line that begins with INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR. For example:
    ...
    INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
        VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
    ...
  3. Determine whether the server license is served or unserved. If the line beginning with INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR ends with "uncounted" it is an unserved license. For example:
    ...
    INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
        VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
    ...
    If that line ends with a number immediately following a date, it is a served license. For example:
    ...
    INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 10 \
        VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
    ...
  4. Determine the product edition and license type for the license. For both served and unserved licenses, note the value of PE (product edition) and LT (license type) in the line following the SUP_BASESRVR line. For example:
    ...
    INCREMENT SUP_BASESRVR SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
        VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
    ...

    The PE value is the license product edition value; "EE" in the example above.

    The LT value is the license lype value; "CP" in the example above.

  5. Determine the number of client licenses.
    1. Locate the uncommented line, beginning with INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT.

      For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
      		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
      		 Inc.;V=1.5;AS=A;MP=365;CP=100;" ISSUED=04-sep-2009 NOTICE="For \
      ...
    2. Determine whether the client licenses are served or unserved.
      If the line beginning with INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT ends with "uncounted" the client licenses are unserved. For example:
      INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
      		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
      ...
      Note the value of CP (Client Places) two lines below the SUP_BASECLIENT line.

      If that line ends with a number immediately after a date, the client licenses are served. For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 100 \
      		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
      ...
    3. Determine the number of client licenses.

      For unserved client licenses, the number of client licenses is the value of CP two lines below the line beginning with INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT. For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 uncounted \
      		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
      		 Inc.;V=1.5;AS=A;MP=365;CP=100;" ISSUED=04-sep-2009 NOTICE="For \
      ...

      For served client licenses, the number of client licenses is the value at the end of the line beginning with INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT. For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_BASECLIENT SYBASE 2010.03316 31-mar-2010 100 \
      		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=ANY ISSUER="CO=Sybase, \
      ...
When you run the Unwired Platform installer, enter the information you have extracted from your license file on the license information page.
