SySAM consists of two utilities called lmgr and lmutil, which manage licensing activities, and two services: the license management service, lmgrd, and the SYBASE service. The SySAM lmgrd service contains a pointer that locates the license file for verification and can reside either on the primary server, known as the local license host, or on a remote license host. The services handle requests to validate licensed features.
Using information in the license file, each RSO component connects to the SySAM daemon and attempts to check out a license for the base component feature. If the component feature license is checked out successfully (a license exists in the license file), the RSO component continues to operate.
If a license does not check out successfully (a license is not found), the RSO component may continue to operate; however, it does record this discrepancy in the log.
