If the license can be issued under grace, then the issue is logged and Adaptive Server starts, or the optional feature is enabled. The Adaptive Server error log entry in such cases looks like:
00:00000:00000:2005/07/05 15:46:08.84 kernel Sybase Licensing: Using licenses from: /opt/sybase/ SYSAM-2_0/licenses 00:00000:00000:2005/07/05 15:46:08.91 kernel Sybase Licensing: Checked out graced license for 1 ASE_CORE (2005.0703) will expire Tue Jul 5 15:47:02 2005. 00:00000:00000:2005/07/05 15:46:08.91 kernel Sybase Licensing: Failed to obtain 1 license(s) for ASE_CORE feature from license file(s) or server(s). 00:00000:00000:2005/07/05 15:46:08.91 kernel Sybase Licensing: Cannot find license file
If e-mail notification is enabled, an e-mail with this information is generated. In such a case, Adaptive Server continues to operate normally until the issue causing license failure is fixed, or grace period ends. The error message and email notification indicate the date and time the grace period is scheduled to end. The error log entry and e-mail notifications are repeated periodically while Adaptive Server operates in grace period with increasing frequency. Adaptive Server continues to operate normally during the grace period, but you must fix the issue causing the license failure. When the issue is fixed, Adaptive Server automatically acquires the license and moves from grace period mode into normal mode. If Adaptive Server is unable to obtain the license before end of the grace period, then Adaptive Server shuts down, or optional features be disabled.
If Adaptive Server licenses are obtained from a network
license server, Adaptive Server continuously performs a “handshake” with
the license server. This is called a “heartbeat.” A
successfully acquired license could be invalidated during the heartbeat.
When this happens, Adaptive Server enters a grace period. This is
logged in the Adaptive Server error log similar to what is logged
at startup. An e-mail notification is sent, if you have configured
your Adaptive Server for this service. You must fix the issue causing
license failure. If the issue is not fixed before the grace period
ends, Adaptive Server may shutdown or optional feature disabled.
Use the sp_lmconfig stored procedure without any arguments to display the current status of various licenses Adaptive Server is using. Licenses that issued under grace are marked “graced.”
