4 Review the SySAM procedures and plan your client/server configuration
using the configuration guide for your platform.
5 Create a “sybase” account on your system to perform all installation tasks.
The “sybase” user must have permission privileges from the top (or root)
of the disk partition or operating system directory down to the specific
physical device or operating system file.
6 Log in to the machine as the “sybase” user.
Maintain consistent ownership and privileges for all files and directories.
A single user—the Sybase System Administrator with read, write, and
execute permissions—should perform all installation, upgrade, and setup
tasks.
7 Know what product edition you are installing. The options are:
• Enterprise Edition
• Small Business Edition
• Developers Edition

know the license type under which Adaptive Server was licensed. For
more inforamtion about license types, see the “License types” in Chapter

installation. However, you may choose to specify the product edition and
license type later using
sp_lmconfig . For information on sp_lmconfig , see
Reference Manual:Procedures.
