Sybase ADAPTIVE 15.0.2 - Manual (Page 31)

CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server
Installation Guide 15
For information about served and unserved licenses, and which model is
best suited for your environment, see Chapter 2, “Choosing a License
Model” in the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
2 If you plan to use a served license, you need a license server. Decide
whether it will be an existing license server or a new license server. The
license server need not be on the same machine or running on the same
operating system and architecture.
• If you are going to use an existing license server, you must know the
server host name and port number.
• For information about creating a new license server before installing
Adaptive Server, see “Installing a new license server” on page 20.
Note There can be only one instance of a SySAM license server running
on a given machine. If you want to setup a SySAM 2.0 license server on a
machine that is already running a SySAM 1.0 license server, the old
license server must be migrated to 2.0. A migrated license server can serve
licenses for both SySAM 1.0 and SySAM 2.0 enabled products.
Please see Appedix F of the Sybase Software Asset Management User's
Guide for instructions on migrating a license server.
For information about choosing a license server host, see the “Choosing a
license server host” section in Chapter 2, “Choosing a License Model” of
the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
For information about license server administration, see Chapter 4,
“License Server Administration” in the Sybase Software Asset
Management User’s Guide.
3 Sybase recommends that you get your license files from the Sybase
Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com before
you begin installing Adaptive Server. For information about accessing
SPDC, see “Accessing SPDC” on page 15, and for information about
generating your licenses at SPDC, see “Generating licenses at SPDC” on
page 17.
Accessing SPDC
Once you have purchased a Sybase product, typically you are expected to
download the product and generate its licenses from the online Web portal, the
Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC.)
