Pre-installation tasks for SySAM
18 Adaptive Server Enterprise
7 Step one of the SySAM license generation wizard asks you to choose
between a served license and an unserved license. If you choose a served
license, continue with the steps in “Generating a served license” on page
18, and if you choose an unserved license, continue with the steps in
“Generating an unserved license” on page 19.
Note Some Sybase Products or specific license types do not give you a
choice of license model to use, and therefore do not display this page. If
this is the case, proceed with the SySAM license generation wizard to
generate your license.
Generating a served license
To generate a served license:
1 Select Served License and click Next.
2 Indicate the quantity of licenses you wish to generate and click Next.
3 Enter the License Server Host ID and optionally the host name and port
number.
a Sybase recommends that you provide the host name here to ease
future license administration.
b A port number is not required unless you are using a 3-node redundant
cluster. A valid number is any unused port number between 0 and
64000. On UNIX, choose a port greater than 1024, since those less
than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If no TCP/IP port number is
specified, one of the default ports in the range of 27000 and 27009 is
used.
c If you want to generate a license for a 3-node redundant cluster, then
you must specify the host ID, host name, and port number for the three
nodes of the cluster. The port number is not optional for this
configuration and should be outside of the 27000 to 27009 range.
d You should have gotten your server host ID before you began the
process of generating your licenses. For information about how to get
the host ID, see “Getting your host ID” on page 16. You have the
option to specify redundant server information if you choose to
configure your servers for three-server redundancy.
4 Click Generate.
5 Once you have generated the license, you can:
