CHAPTER 2 Sybase Software Asset Management

For a Developer’s Edition all that is in the license file is a Developer’s Edition

license key (ASE_DEV). The Adaptive Server examines the license and as

long as it is valid continues starting. Because it is a Developer’s Edition all

optional non-royalty features are enabled.

For Small Business or Enterprise Edition the license file contains a pointer to

the SySAM software on the primary server known as the license host, or to a

remote license host where SySAM is running. SySAM consists of a utility,

lmutil, to manage licensing activities, and two daemons – the license

management daemon (

lmgrd) and the vendor daemon (SYBASE). The

daemons handle requests to check in or check out licensed features.

Using information in the license file, Adaptive Server connects to SySAM and

attempts to check out a license (ASE_SERVER or ASE_SBE) for the base

Adaptive Server product. If the ADE_SERVER or ASE_SBE license is

checked out successfully, Adaptive Server continues to start and attempts to

check out any optional features enabled in server_name.cfg.

Utilities

If Adaptive Server is configured to use optional features, such as External File

Access (ASE_XFS) or Java in the database (ASE_JAVA), it attempts to check

out licenses for those features during the start-up process. If a license is not

available for an optional feature, Adaptive Server still starts, but the feature

cannot be used.

Starting Adaptive Server with optional features

You can use sp_configure parameters to turn on or off optional features. The

following parameters are used to configure optional features:

1 2 ... 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 ... 53 54
