Serving Named User Licenses

Named User licenses, which allow a specific person to use PowerDesigner, can be deployed to the user's machine or served by SySAM. To correctly serve and assign Named User licenses you must create a special SySAM option file.

1. Create a new text file with the name SYBASE.opt in the SYSAM-2_0\licenses directory and enter your Named User license information using the following format:

   GROUP <GroupName> <Member> [<Member>...]
   INCLUDE <PackageCode> GROUP <GroupName> [<GroupName>...]

   The following parameters are available:

   Parameter	Description
   <GroupName>	Specifies the name by which you will identify a group of users who should have access to the same PowerDesigner package.
   <Member>	Specifies the login name (without any domain) of the user to whom the Named User license is assigned. To assign multiple users, separate their names with spaces.
   <PackageCode>	Specifies the PowerDesigner package to which the group is assigned. The following codes are permitted: PD_EAR - PowerDesigner EnterpriseArchitect with Repository PD_IAR - PowerDesigner InformationArchitect with Repository PD_DMR - PowerDesigner DataModeler with Repository PD_DM - PowerDesigner DataModeler PD_WBPM - PowerDesigner Web BPM

   For example:

   GROUP EnterpriseUsers Jane Bill Harry
   GROUP DataUsersA Phil Jack Sally
   GROUP DataUsersB James Thomas Percy
   Group WebBPMUsers Rob, Debbie, Lisa
   INCLUDE PD_EAR GROUP EnterpriseUsers
   INCLUDE PD_DMR GROUP DataUsersA DataUsersB
   INCLUDE PD_WBPM GROUP WebBPMUsers

2. Save the file and then restart the SySAM license server to enable it.
   The Named User licenses are now available for use.

   Note Users to whom a Named User license have been assigned should select the Served License option when installing PowerDesigner or using the License Management Wizard. SySAM detects the user's login name and serves the license accordingly.
