Locating Information in a License File

After you download a license file, you may need to get 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 the string for your Unwired Platform edition:
    • Enterprise Edition – INCREMENT SUP_ENTSRVR
    • Enterprise Developer Edition – INCREMENT SUP_ENTDEV
    • Personal Developer Edition – INCREMENT SUP_DEVELOPER

    For example:

    • Enterprise Edition would be similar to this.
      ...
INCREMENT SUP_ENTSRVR SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
    • Enterprise Developer Edition would be similar to this.
      ...
INCREMENT SUP_ENTDEV SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
    • Personal Developer Edition would be similar to this.
      ...
INCREMENT SUP_DEVELOPER SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...

    The rest of the examples in this section show the beginning of this line as it would appear for Enterprise Edition. The details illustrated apply equally to all editions.

  3. Determine whether the server license is served or unserved.
    If the line you located in step 2 ends with "uncounted" it is an unserved license. For example:
    ...
INCREMENT SUP_ENTSRVR SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
    If that line ends with a number immediately following a date, it is a served license. For example:
    ...
INCREMENT SUP_ENTSRVR SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent 10 \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
  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 line you located in step 2. For example:
    ...
INCREMENT SUP_ENTSRVR SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=CP HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...

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

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

  5. If you are installing Enterprise Edition, determine the number of client licenses.

    If your license type is Development and Test (DT), you can change this number later.

    1. Locate the uncommented line, beginning with INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT.

      For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
		 VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
    2. Determine whether the client licenses are served or unserved.
      If the line beginning with INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT ends with "uncounted" the client licenses are unserved. For example:
      INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
   VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
   x64_n" ISSUER="CO=Sybase, Inc.;V=2.0;AS=A;MP=3120;CP=100;EGO=" \
...

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

      INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent 100 \
    VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
    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_ENTCLIENT. For example:

      INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent uncounted \
    VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
    x64_n" ISSUER="CO=Sybase, Inc.;V=2.0;AS=A;MP=3120;CP=100;EGO=" \
...

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

      INCREMENT SUP_ENTCLIENT SYBASE 2011.11150 permanent 100 \
    VENDOR_STRING=PE=EE;LT=ST HOSTID=000c29d300bd PLATFORMS="i86_n \
...
