Product licensing with SySAM 2.0
Starting with Adaptive Server Enterprise version 15.0, the Sybase Software
Asset Management System (SySAM) implementation has changed. With these
changes, SySAM configuration is no longer optional, and requires some
changes in the Adaptive Server installation and configuration process. Review
the updated SySAM implementation and plan your SySAM deployment before
you install Adaptive Server Enterprise.
For information about how to install and configure SySAM 2.0 enabled
products, see the following places for information:
• For simple installations, see the Installation Guide (this document,) for
instructions. No additional information should be necessary.
• For more complex installations, and for general information about
SySAM 2.0, see the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
Warning! SySAM 2.0 enabled products work for an initial period without a
license. If you do not install a valid license for your configuration in this grace
period, the product ceases to function. For general information about SySAM
2.0, see the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
Before you install Adaptive Server with SySAM 2.0, you must decide whether
you are using a served or an unserved license. For information on how to
determine which is appropriate for your site, see Chapter 2, “Choosing a
License Model” in the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
