Restart ASE.
To verify your license, you can run the sp_lmconfig stored
procedure in Interactive SQL (isql) or check
the ASE error log. In the ASE error log, a line beginning with "Checked
out license..." indicates that the license configuration
is successful. If you see a "Sysam: FLEXnet
Licensing error:" message, check with your
Sybase representative to resolve the issue.
