Database Expert uses SySAM to “check out” a license for product functionality, then checks the license back in when the product is no longer in use. The basic SySAM components are:
Database Expert linked with SySAM libraries
One or more local license files
Optionally, a SySAM network license server
When you install the product, you choose to configure an unserved license or a network license server. Both configurations create a local license file on the same machine as Database Expert in %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses. When you start Database Expert, the product searches for a license in the default location—%SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\licenses—looking at all files with a .lic extension. The local license file contains the actual licenses or a pointer to a SySAM network license server. When a license is successfully checked out, Database Expert continues to start.
