If the license can be issued within a grace period, the issue is logged and Adaptive Server or the optional feature starts. The Adaptive Server error log entry in such cases looks similar to:
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 message with this information is generated. In such a case, Adaptive Server continues to operate normally until the issue causing license failure is fixed, or the grace period ends. The error message and e-mail notification indicate the date and time the grace period is scheduled to end. The error log entry and e-mail notifications are repeated with increasing frequency while Adaptive Server operates in grace period. Adaptive Server continues to operate normally during the grace period, but you must fix the issue causing the license failure. Once the issue is addressed, Adaptive Server automatically acquires the license and moves from grace period mode into normal mode.
If you obtain an Adaptive Server license from a network
license server, Adaptive Server periodically executes a “heartbeat” with
the network license server. A successfully acquired license may
be invalidated during the heartbeat; for example, if the license
has an expired date or if the network license server was restarted
and other Adaptive Server instances acquired all available licenses
before this instance could acquire a license. If this happens, Adaptive
Server enters a grace period. This information is written in the
error log, and is similar to the information written to the error
log when you start the product.
Use the sp_lmconfig stored procedure without arguments to display the current status of various licenses Adaptive Server is using. Licenses issued during the grace period are marked “graced.”
