12.5 is the version number.
Feature Count immediately follows the license type, PERMANENT.
SN=10001 is the Order Number.
OVERDRAFT= ### is the maximum licenses that can be checked out.
123456789123 is a 12-digit number representing the authorization code.
The authorization code is case sensitive. If you make a mistake while entering the authorization code, correct it by accessing the license file with a text editor, making the necessary changes, and saving the file.
The file is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses/license.dat.
WARNING! Tampering with any portion of the licenses file other than the authorization code invalidates the license.
