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.
License users are identified by their user name, host name, display, IP address, or the user-defined project defined by the LM_PROJECT environment variable.

If overdraft licensing is subsequently needed, you can modify or remove the line from the options file.
Enable report and debug log files – the default SYBASE.opt options file in the license server’s licenses directory sets the location of the license server debug log and report log files, and specifies that the license server should append the files (rather than create a new file) each time the license server is started.
The default SYBASE.opt file contains two lines similar to this, where REPORTLOG and DEBUGLOG are the log type, the + (plus sign character) indicates to append log file entries, and SYBASE.rl and SYBASE.log specify each log file’s path.
REPORTLOG +/opt/sybase/SYSAM-2_0/log/SYBASE.rl DEBUGLOG +/opt/sybase/SYSAM-2_0/log/SYBASE.log
[DEBUGLOG | REPORTLOG] [+] log_path
See The Options File in the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for a list of option key words, syntax, and descriptions.
The license server reads the options file and obeys its directives at start-up or, if it is already running, when you issue sysam reread.
