dblic Licenses

[Marc Allard]

Hello,
Can you tell me what I must do if I buy more licenses (I saw a program dblic
in the Win32 folder). I can't use it could you tell me how to use it?

Thank you

The following information comes from the ASA6 help:

Syntax
dblic { switches } executable-name user-name company-name

Switch
Description

-l type
License type. Allowed values are perseat or concurrent

-o filename
Log output messages to a file

-p operating-system
Target operating system. Allowed values are NetWare, UNIX, WIN32, WINNT

-q
Operate quietly—do not print messages

-u license-number
Total number of users for license

Description
The dblic command-line utility adds licensed users to your network database server. You must only
use this utility in accordance with your Sybase license agreement, to license the number of users to
which you are entitled. Running this command does not grant you license.

Repeated running of the dblic command updates the license information.

Switches
License type (-l) Enter the license type that matches the licensing model described in your
software license agreement. Valid entries are perseat and concurrent.

Log output messages to file (-o) Write output messages to the named file.

Operating system (-p) Enter the operating system for which you are licensed. Allowed values are
as follows:

NetWare Novell NetWare operating system.

UNIX A UNIX operating system.

WIN32 Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system.

WINNT Windows NT operating system.

Operate quietly (-q) Do not display output messages.

License number (-u) The total number of licensed seats or concurrent connections. If you are
adding extra licenses, this is the total, not the number of additional license.

Executable name Enter the path and file name of the network database server executable
(dbsrv6.exe) you are licensing. The path can be relative.

User name A user name for the license. This name appears on the database server window on
startup. If there are spaces in the name, enclose it in double quotes.

Company name The company name for the license. This name appears on the database server window
on startup. If there are spaces in the name, enclose it in double quotes.

Example
The following command, executed in the same directory as the database server executable, applies a
license for 50 concurrent users, in the name of "Sys Admin", for company "My Co", to a Windows NT
network database server. The command must be entered all on one line:

dblic -l concurrent -p WINNT -u 50 dbsrv6.exe "Sys Admin" "My Co"
The following message is displayed on the screen to indicate the success of the license:

Licensed nodes: 50
User: Sys Admin
Company: My Co
