Sybase 15 Using alternative license file locations, Co-existing with earlier versions of SySAM

Sybase Software Asset Management

Install the network license server on the three selected machines and deploy the license obtained on all three machines. See “Installing a new license server” on page 22 for instructions.

To configure Replication Server to use these redundant network servers, specify the addresses for three servers in SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE environment variable as port@host separated by a semicolon. For example:

set SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE 1700@srv1;1700@srv2;1700@srv3

Any two of the servers specified in SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE must be running for checkout to succeed.

Using alternative license file locations

You can specify alternate license locations using the

SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variables. The product looks at the locations provided in these variables before looking in the default location.

Note See “Specifying Location of the License File” in Chapter 2, “License

File Basics,” of the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide.

Co-existing with earlier versions of SySAM

Replication Server version 15.0 uses a newer version of the SySAM licensing technology and an updated license format. On any machine, you can have only one instance of a license server running. You must make some adjustments to use earlier versions of Sybase products with Replication Server 15.0.

Case 1: If you are using a central network server for Replication Server 15.0, and a network license server-based SySAM license for earlier versions of the product, migrate to Replication Server version 15.0:

1Update the network license software with the version provided in Replication Server 15.0. Use the instructions in “Setting up a network license server” on page 5.

2Copy the earlier license files (typically, a single file named license.dat) into the new $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licensesdirectory and rename license.dat to license.lic.
