Sybase Express Edition License

[Former Member]

Hi All

The documentation and web sites say that "The Express Edition includes a new IQ_XE SySAM license, which is installed as part of the Express Edition server package". I cannot see a relevant lic file in the set of installation files. Is there a specific mechanism of applying this license?

Thanks

Al.

Hi Al,

You can download the Express Edition again. Once you unpackage the .tgz file, there will be a file named ExpressEdition.lic. Take that file and place it in your existing $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/ directory. If you don't have the licenses directory, just create it and then place the .lic file there.

The new download is IQ 15.4 ESD2, which does not work well with the included license. The license works fine with the previous download package, which was IQ 15.4 ESD1.

I'll work with the backline teams to get this fixed, but it likely won't be until the end of the month. As long as you just take the .lic file and apply it to your existing setup, you should be okay.

Mark, does this answer also apply to IQ16?  I've downloaded the Express Edition (version 16.0.0.481) for Linux x64 (iq160_LinuxAMD64.tgz), installed it, and cannot find an ExpressEdition.lic file.  I've started the iqdemo.db server, so the sp_iqlmconfig procedure returns:

Property

Value

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

License Type	DT

IQ_CORE License Count in use	6 (CPU core based)

However, the $SYBASE/SYSAM-2_0/licenses/ is empty...

Much obliged,

Once you have the license in place, be sure that IQ is looking for the Express Edition license. Use:

sp_iqlmconfig

go

to see which "Edition" is set. If the output isn't obvious, post it here for review.

I have re-installed my VM, and re-downloaded Sybase IQ Express Edition, and re-installed.

For the installation option I went for Evaluation.

I have started the Demo database and connected using Sybase Central.

Now... running sp_iqlmconfig the 'Edition' entry is null. In fact all entries are null.

How do I resolve to have Express Edition?

Thanks

Al.

Use the following command, however, you need to have an Express Edition license, which hopefully was included.

sp_iqlmconfig 'edition','XE'

go

I have applied that command, but I still do not have the Licenses folder.

Hi Al,

Sorry for the delay. I've been trying to track this down. When you do the install, be sure to select "Licensed Copy" (not "Evaluation"). Then go on to select Express Edition.

That said, here is the problem. The IQ 15.4 download included the Express Edition license. However, the site was recently updated with IQ 15.4 ESD1, and the license was not included. I'm working with the appropriate teams now to see how this will be resolved. I will update this thread as soon as I have an answer.

Hi Al,

The IQ team is going to repackage the downloads. I expect this to be done by early next week. I'll provide an update here as soon as I hear that the packages have been refreshed.

Its should be under the SYSAM###/licenses directory ..... you have that right?

[Former Member]

I do not have a licenses directory - no. I have just downloaded Express Edition again and still no licenses directory. The only lic file in the entire install is in SySAMLicenseServer.lic, and that is for the License Server isn't it?

[sap_mk]

Yes, that stub license is to prevent errors if you try starting a license server without any other Served licenses in place. Assuming you can start IQ under grace mode, what does the sp_iqlmconfig output show?

If you cannot start IQ, check for a file named <iq server name>.properties and post the lines that have PE= and LT=.

I cannot find that file. I am re-building the VM and will start again.

Which option should I choose for the install:      Evaluation or Licensed?

Thanks

Al.
