Sybase ADAPTIVE 15.0.2 - Manual (Page 112)

SySAM grace mode
96 Adaptive Server Enterprise
SySAM grace mode
If Adaptive Server cannot find a required license, it continues to operate in
grace mode, if a grace period is available. Determine the license status of
Adaptive Server using the output from
sp_lmconfig . The Status column in the
output shows graced for any license that is operating in grace.
The Adaptive Server errorlog includes information about licenses awarded
under grace. If e-mail notifications are set up for warning severity, e-mail
messages are sent for this event. See “Enabling and changing e-mail
notifications” on page 97 for more information.
The warnings in the Adaptive Server errorlog and e-mail message are repeated
while the license is under grace.
Adaptive Server does
not start with the
expected edition or
license type If the edition and license type configuration parameters are not set, Adaptive Server uses
the first available ASE_CORE license. If you have multiple ASE_CORE licenses with
different editions and license types, which license is the first available depends on many
factors such as license file directory sort order, available licenses on the license server, and
so on.
Because what edition and license type is granted cannot be guaranteed, Sybase
recommends that you set the
edition and license type configuration parameters. When
these parameters are set, you are assured that Adaptive Server starts with that
configuration. If a matching license were to be unavailable, Adaptive server starts under
grace (if available) to allow you to resolve the licensing issue.
Adaptive Server does
not pick the correct
license When Adaptive Server looks for a license, it does so in the following locations:
• Any saved values in the registry on Windows platforms, or the .flexlmrc file on UNIX
platforms. Use "lmpath -status" to view the saved values.
• The values set for SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment
variables.
• All license files (any file with a .lic extension) in the licenses directory under the
SYSAM-2_0 directory.
All of the above locations are searched in the order specified until a suitable license is
found. When a directory is specified, license files in that directory are loaded in the
directory sort order.
The first license that matches the feature name, version, edition, and license type filter is
used. This license may not be what you were expecting to use. Adjust the above locations
to control this.
