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 transferred to new devices.
- 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:
- Server license type – the type of license currently used by Unwired Platform. For more information on license types, see Sybase Unwired Platform Licenses.
- Production edition – the edition of the software you have installed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Used device license count – the total number of unique devices associated with the users currently registered with the server. 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:
- For workflow and Online Data Proxy client devices, delete the Application Connections that are no longer in use.
- For native replication-based applications, delete Package Users on the respective Package.
- For native messaging-based applications, delete the Application Connections associated with the clients not in use.
- 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.
- Used mobile user license count – the number of mobile user licenses currently in use. A mobile user is a distinct user identity—username and associated security configuration—that is registered in the server. As such, the used mobile user license count represents the total distinct user identities registered on the server. One mobile user may access:
- Multiple applications and different versions of the same application.
- The same or different versions of an application from multiple devices.
- Used application user license count – the number of all registered application users of all applications. This value represents the cumulative total of the distinct user identities registered for each application. The same user identity using:
- Multiple versions of the same application counts as one application user.
- Two different applications count as two application users.
- Click Close.
Note: Unwired Platform licensing is configured during installation. However, if necessary, license details can be changed at a later time. See Manually Updating and Upgrading License Files.
