Purchasing Licenses Before Installing

Once you have identified your product edition and license type, you can proceed with purchasing the licenses.

1. Review your landscape design, and determine the number of nodes in your deployment.
   This determines the number of licenses you need to purchase. Each redundant node is separately licensed.
2. Arrange for the purchase of the number of licenses requred.
3. After the purchase of licenses is completed, download the licenses.
   When you purchase SySAM 2-enabled SAP products, you must generate, download, and deploy SySAM product licenses.

   • If you ordered your product under an SAP® contract and were directed to download from SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), you can use SMP at http://service.sap.com/licensekeys (login required) to generate license keys for SAP products that use SySAM 2-based licenses.
   • If you purchased your product from Sybase® or an authorized Sybase reseller, go to the secure Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com and log in to generate license keys. The license generation process may vary slightly, depending on whether you ordered directly from Sybase or from a Sybase reseller.
