configuration. If a matching license were to be unavailable, Adaptive server starts under
grace (if available) to allow you to resolve the licensing issue.
When Adaptive Server looks for a license, it does so in the following locations:
• Any saved values in the registry on Windows platforms, or the .flexlmrc file on UNIX
platforms. Use "lmpath -status" to view the saved values.
• The values set for SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment
variables.
• All license files (any file with a .lic extension) in the licenses directory under the
SYSAM-2_0 directory.
All of the above locations are searched in the order specified until a suitable license is
found. When a directory is specified, license files in that directory are loaded in the
directory sort order.
The first license that matches the feature name, version, edition, and license type filter is
used. This license may not be what you were expecting to use. Adjust the above locations
to control this.

grace mode, if a grace period is available. Determine the license status of
