Monitoring license use

The License Use Monitor allows a system administrator to monitor the number of user licenses used in Adaptive Server, and to securely manage the license agreement data. That is, you can ensure that the number of licenses used on your Adaptive Server does not exceed the number specified in your license agreement.

The License Use Monitor tracks the number of licenses issued; it does not enforce the license agreement. If the License Use Monitor reports that you are using more user licenses than specified in your license agreement, see your Sybase sales representative.

You must have system administrator privileges to configure the License Use Monitor; by default the monitor is turned off when Adaptive Server is installed or upgraded.

See “Configuring the License Use Monitor,” below.
