Using the options file to manage licenses

Use the options file (%SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses\SYBASE.opt) to provide control to the Database Expert license from the network server. For example, you may want to limit the machines on which Database Expert can be run, or restrict usage to particular users.

For example, the following options file restricts the use of Database Expert to the users Tom, Sam, and Harry:

# the dbe_group are
GROUP dbe_group tom sam harry
INCLUDE ASE_SDBE GROUP dbe_group

NoteWhen you specify INCLUDE, you must include all machines or all users licensed for the product in the host group. A machine or a user that is not included in the host group will not be able to use the product.
