You must have a sub-capacity licensing agreement with Sybase before you can enable sub-capacity licensing. As with other Sybase licenses, you must generate a license key. For specific steps, see the SySAM Quick Start Guide.
Although the installation media include a copy of the most recent SySAM license server, Sybase recommends that you periodically check for license server updates on the Maintenance Releases and Bug Fixes (EBFs) link at http://www.sybase.com/support. See Obtaining Help and Additional Information.
