Once you have ordered a Sybase product you receive a welcome e-mail
that contains a URL to the SPDC site, as well as a user name and password.

Note

If you have purchased your Sybase software from a Sybase reseller,

you will receive a web key rather than an e-mail.

2

Click on the URL, and when prompted, enter the designated user name and
password. Your login is typically your e-mail address. If you have
forgotten your password, use the password finder on the SPDC login page.

Getting your host ID

To get your host ID:

1

Change to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin. Where %SYBASE% is the
Sybase installation directory.

2

Enter:

./lmutil lmhostid

lmutil lmhostid

Note

On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter

address. If your machine has multiple network adapters,

lmutil

lmhostid

returns one host ID for each network adapter. The output may

look similar to:

The FLEXlm host ID of this machine

is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90""

Only use ONE from the list of hostids.

Choose one of these host IDs. Sybase recommends using the value
associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values
associated with internal loop back adapters. If you cannot determine which
host ID to use from the

lmutil lmhostid

output, use the native

operating system command to get additional details to help make the
determination. See to the SPDC FAQ titled ,“What’s my Host ID,” or
“Appendix A” of the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for the exact
commands for your platform.

Save the host ID so you can use it later at SPDC. Your host ID is
platform-specific, but may be similar to:
