Starting Adaptive Server with optional features

For a Developer's Edition all that is in the license file is a Developer's Edition
license key (ASE_DEV). The Adaptive Server examines the license and as
long as it is valid continues starting. Because it is a Developer's Edition all
optional non-royalty features are enabled.
For Small Business or Enterprise Edition the license file contains a pointer to
the SySAM software on the primary server known as the license host, or to a
remote license host where SySAM is running. SySAM consists of a utility,
, to manage licensing activities, and two daemons – the license
lmutil
management daemon (
daemons handle requests to check in or check out licensed features.
Using information in the license file, Adaptive Server connects to SySAM and
attempts to check out a license (ASE_SERVER or ASE_SBE) for the base
Adaptive Server product. If the ADE_SERVER or ASE_SBE license is
checked out successfully, Adaptive Server continues to start and attempts to
check out any optional features enabled in server_name.cfg.
If Adaptive Server is configured to use optional features, such as External File
Access (ASE_XFS) or Java in the database (ASE_JAVA), it attempts to check
out licenses for those features during the start-up process. If a license is not
available for an optional feature, Adaptive Server still starts, but the feature
cannot be used.
