SySAM Administration

Replication Server uses Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) to
perform license administration and asset management tasks.

Managing licenses

The Sybase Product Download Center is an where you obtain license keys
to enable Sybase software.

When you purchase software from Sybase, go to

the download site at

https://sybase.subscribenet.com

. When your order is processed, you

receive an e-mail message that includes the above URL, your login, and
your password for the Sybase Product Download Center.

When you purchase software from a Sybase reseller, go to

the download

site at https://sybase.subscribenet.com/webkey

. Use the certificate that you

received in your software package to enter the activation string.

Before you go the Sybase Product Download Center, determine:

Your license configuration – whether to use the network license
server or an unserved SySAM configuration.

The host ID for the servers you want to run.

If you are going to use an unserved configuration, you need the
host ID for the machine where Replication Server will run.
