Determining License Server Version and Status
You can determine license server version and status by using the sysam status command. You can determine the versions of lmgrd and SYBASE vendor daemon by using the -v option.
Monitoring License Use
To determine the status of a specific license server, establish which licenses are available, and where licenses are currently being used, use the sysam status command.
Managing the License Server Debug Log
By default, all license server status and error messages are written to the debug log file SYBASE.log in the log directory.
Controlling License Use with the SySAM Options File
The options file (SYBASE.opt, in the licenses directory) allows license administrators to control various licensing operating parameters and to designate users of specific licenses.
SySAM Utilities
The licensing utility program, lmutil, includes the options for managing licensing activities.
Configuring SySAM for Redundancy
Configure SySAM for redundancy by setting up a three-server redundant cluster or by specifying multiple license servers.
Access Through a Firewall or VPN
SySAM license server listens on two TCP/IP ports for incoming license requests. Therefore, any firewall or VPN policies must be set up to allow access to both ports.
