Chapter 1: Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM)

Verifying that the License Manager is running

Sybase supplies utilities with license manager to check the status of the license manager daemon.

To verify that the license manager daemon is running

Enter the following:

For Windows:

%SYBASE%\SYSAM-1_0\bin\lmutil lmstat -c

For UNIX:

 lmstat -c

Verify that both lmgrd and SYBASE are running before you run Replication Agent.

If the license manager daemon is not running, you see a message similar to the following:

lmgrd is not running: Cannot connect to license server

If the license manager daemon is not running, you must start it manually, as described in the following procedure.

To start the license manager daemon on Windows

From the Windows Start menu, select Select Programs | Sybase | Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM).
The license manager daemon can run either as a service or as a process.
- To run it as a service, enter the following:
```
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\sysam.bat
```
- To run it as a process, enter the following:
```
 lmgrd -c %LM_LICENSE_FILE% -l %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_SYSAM%\log\lmgrd.log
```

To start the license manager daemon on UNIX

Enter the following command:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/lmgrd -c $LM_LICENSE_FILE -l $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/log/lmgrd.log &

If you need help, enter lmgrd -h.
