SySAM consists of two utilities called lmgr and lmutil, which manage licensing activities, and two services: the license management service, lmgrd, and the SYBASE service. The SySAM lmgrd service contains a pointer that locates the license file for verification and can reside either on the primary server, known as the local license host, or on a remote license host. The services handle requests to validate licensed features.
Using information in the license file, each Mirror Activator for Oracle component connects to the SySAM daemon and attempts to check out a license for the base component feature. If the component feature license is checked out successfully (a license exists in the license file), the Mirror Activator for Oracle component continues to operate.
If a license does not check out successfully (a license is not found), the Mirror Activator for Oracle component may continue to operate; however, it does record this discrepancy in the log.
