license information

license information allows SAP system administrators to monitor the number of user licenses used in SAP ASE. Enabling this parameter only monitors the number of licenses issued; it does not enforce the license agreement.

If license information is set to 0, SAP ASE does not monitor license use. If license information is set to a number greater than 0, the housekeeper chores task monitors the number of licenses used during the idle cycles in SAP ASE. Set license information to the number of licenses specified in your license agreement.

If the number of licenses used is greater than the number to which license information is set, SAP ASE writes this message to the error log:
WARNING: Exceeded configured number of user licenses

At the end of each 24-hour period, the maximum number of licenses used during that time is added to the syblicenseslog table. The 24-hour period restarts if SAP ASE is restarted.
