Obtaining a License

Before installing your product, choose a SySAM license model, determine license server information, and obtain license files.

When you purchase SySAM 2–enabled SAP® products, you must generate, download, and deploy SySAM product licenses from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP) at http://service.sap.com/licensekeys.

Note: If you purchased your product from Sybase or an authorized Sybase reseller and have not been migrated to SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), go to the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com to generate license keys.

These steps summarize the actions you must take to install a SySAM license. You must refer to the SySAM Users Guide for details.

Choose a SySAM license model.

License Model	Description
Unserved license model	Licenses are obtained directly from a license file. If you are using an unserved license, save the license file to the machine on which you install the product.
Served license model	A license server manages the allocation of licenses among multiple machines.

For the served license model, decide whether to use an existing or new license server.

The license server and your product installation do not need to share the same machine, operating system, or architecture.
If you chose the served license model, do one of:
- Install the new license server on a machine that does not have an existing license server.
- To install on a machine that is running a SySAM 2.3 license server, follow migration instructions in the SySAM Users Guide to migrate to the newer SySAM version.
Before installing your product, get license files from SPDC or from SMP using the access information in your welcome e-mail message.
