Review licensing information to monitor available and used device licenses, license expiry dates, and other license details.
This information allows administrators to manage license use and determine whether old or unused device licenses should be tranferred to new devices.
Unwired Platform licensing is configured during installation. However, if necessary, license details can be changed at a later time. See Sybase Unwired Platform Installation Guide > Postinstallation Tasks > Upgrading License Files.
- In the left navigation pane, select the top-level tree node.
- In the right administration pane, select the General tab, and click Licensing.
- Review the following licensing information:
- Production edition – the edition of the software you have installed.
- Total device license count – the total number of device licenses available with your license. This count limits how many devices can connect to your servers. See Sybase Unwired Platform Installation Guide > Planning Your Sybase Unwired Platform Installation > Sybase Unwired Platform Licenses > Device User License Limits.
- Used device license count – the total number of licenses currently attached to devices. If all of your available device licenses are in use, you can either upgrade your license or manually delete unused devices to make room for new users. See Sybase Unwired Platform Installation Guide > Planning Your Sybase Unwired Platform Installation > Sybase Unwired Platform Licenses > Device User License Limits.
- Device license expiry date – the date and time at which the device license expires. When a device license expires, Unwired Server generates a license expired error and connection requests from registered devices are unsuccessful.
- Server license expiry date – the date and time at which the server license expires. When a server license expires, Unwired Server generates a license expired error and Unwired Server is stopped.
- Server license type – the type of license currently used by Unwired Platform. For more information on license types, see Sybase Unwired Platform Installation Guide > Planning Your Sybase Unwired Platform Installation > Sybase Unwired Platform Licenses.
- Overdraft mode – allows you to generate additional licenses in excess of the quantity of licenses
you actually purchased. This enables you to exceed your purchased quantity of
licenses in a peak usage period without impacting your operation.
This mode is either enabled or disabled, as specified by the terms of the agreement presented when
you obtain such a license.
