SySAM consists of two utilities, called lmgr and lmutil, which manage licensing activities, and two daemons: the license management daemon, lmgrd, and the SYBASE daemon. The SySAM lmgrd daemon 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 daemons handle requests to validate licensed features, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1: How SySAM interacts with DirectConnect
Using information in the license file, DirectConnect connects to the SySAM daemon and attempts to check out a license for the base DirectConnect feature. If the DirectConnect license is checked out successfully (a license exists in the license file), DirectConnect continues to operate.
If a license does not check out successfully (a license is not found), DirectConnect continues to operate, but it does record this discrepancy in the log.
