Installing Server components

The Sybase IQ server installation media includes all of the components you need to install an IQ Server.

Use an account with Administrator privileges to log in to Windows. Stop and shut down all programs before you run the installation.

Insert the Sybase IQ product DVD into the drive.

If the Sybase IQ installer does not start automatically, start Windows Explorer, change to your DVD drive, choose the appropriate setup file: setup32.bat or setup64.bat.

On the Welcome screen, click Next.

Choose an installation directory, then click Next.

Choose the Licensed Edition as the product edition you want to configure, click Next.

On the next screen, choose a location, then read and accept the license agreement.

You must accept an appropriate license agreement to install Sybase IQ. You can review all available license agreements on the Sybase Web site.
When the installer prompts you for the Sybase IQ license key, do one of the following:
- Open the license you downloaded from the SPDC site, and paste the license in the license key text box. Do this only if you are installing an unserved license.
- Click Browse, navigate to where you stored your license location, and select it. Do this only if you are installing an unserved license.
- Click “Use previously deployed license server,” then specify the server’s host name and port number. Use this option to use a previously deployed license server.
- Click “Continue installation without a license key” to install Sybase IQ in grace mode.
Click Next, then choose the appropriate product edition and license type.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete your installation. Remove the installation media from the drive.

Notes

If you install Sybase IQ in grace mode, you can install the product without a license, and activate a 30-day grace period. You must obtain an appropriate license from Sybase before the grace period ends.
To verify your license, you can run the sp_iqlmconfig stored procedure in Interactive SQL (iqisql) or check the Sybase IQ error log and <dbname>.iqmsg file.
In the server log, a line beginning with “Checked out license...” indicates that the license configuration is successful. If you see a “Sysam: FLEXnet Licensing error:” message, check with your Sybase representative to resolve the issue.
