If
Adaptive Server cannot find a required license, it continues to
operate in grace mode, if a grace period is available. Determine
the license status of Adaptive Server using the output from sp_lmconfig.
The Status
column shows graced
for
any license that is operating within a grace period.
The Adaptive Server error log includes information about licenses awarded under grace mode. If e-mail notifications are set up for a severity of “warning,” e-mail messages are sent for this event. See “Enabling and changing e-mail notifications” for more information.
The warnings in the Adaptive Server error log and e-mail messages are repeated while the license is under grace.
