Setting up an unserved configuration

During Replication Server installation, select the option to use a local license file. When you are activating licenses from the Sybase Software Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com, select the “unserved” license format and save the license in the local license directory $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses.

Using a network license server

When you configure a network license server, the server uses two daemons— the lmgrd FLEXlm daemon and the vendor (SYBASE) daemon—to handle license check-in and check-out for licensed products. Using the pointer in the local license file, Replication Server connects to the network license server and attempts to check out a license (REP_SERVER).

In a network license server configuration, the license server host runs the network license server. The local license file on the Replication Server machine contains a pointer to the network license server.
