Sybase 15 manual Using the options file to manage licenses, Appendix a SySAM Administration

APPENDIX A SySAM Administration

•Obtain updated licenses after renewing support.

Note When you renew your software support with Sybase, the SySAM licenses are updated with the new support date. Download updated licenses from the Sybase Product Download Center after renewing support. The designated support contact receives an e-mail message when a support renewal is processed. The support date is checked when you install Replication Server to verify your support is current when the update is posted.

If you cannot access the Sybase Product Download Center or have problems generating license keys, contact Sybase Customer Services and Support. They can generate the license keys on your behalf and provide the keys to you.

The Sybase Product Download Center keeps a record of the license keys you have activated, and allows you access the records of the software for which you are licensed.

Using the options file to manage licenses

Use the options file ($SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/SYBASE.opt) to provide control to the Replication Server license from the network server. For example, you may want to limit the machines on which Replication Server can be run, or restrict usage to particular users.

For example, the following options file restricts the use of Replication Server to the users Tom, Sam, and Harry:

# the sse_group are

GROUP sse_group tom sam harry INCLUDE REP_SERVER GROUP sse_group

Note When you specify INCLUDE, you must include all machines or all users licensed for the product in the host group. A machine or a user that is not included in the host group cannot use the product.
