CHAPTER 1 Before You Begin
Installation Guide for UNIX 9
3 Shut down the old license server and start the new license server.
4 Copy any new licenses into this new directory.
Old and new Sybase software now use this license server.
Case 2: If you are using individual license servers for earlier versions of
Replication Server, with each machine running earlier Sybase software hosting
a local license server, Sybase recommends that you move to a single network
license server model to migrate to Replication Server version 15.0.
❖ Using a central license server only for new licenses
1 Select the machine for the new network license server and install the
SySAM network license server supplied with Replication Server version
15.0 on that machine.
2 If this machine is already running an older license server, use the
instructions in Case 1 to migrate the local licenses. All new licenses are
now installed on this machine.
3 Point the Replication Server version 15.0 installation to this license server.
Use the
lmpath utility (see “Using SySAM utilities” on page 55) to do this
or edit license.dat and add these lines at the beginning of the file:
SERVER <network license server hostname> ANY <license server port>
VENDOR SYBASE
USE_SERVER
❖ Migrating old licenses to a new central license server
1 Set up the new SySAM network license server using the instructions in
“Setting up a network license server” on page 5.
2 Collect licenses from all old local license servers to deploy to the new
network license server.
a Create a new license file that includes the contents of all individual
licenses from each earlier local license server.
When you create the new license file, discard the license header from
each file. The header is the first three lines that start with “SERVER,”
“VENDOR,” and “USE_SERVER.”
b Create one license header with the above three lines in the merged file
to match the requirements on the new network license server and save
this file as license.lic in the licenses directory.
