The
dblic
command-line utility adds licensed users to your network database
server. You must only use this utility in accordance with your Sybase license
agreement to license the number of users to which you are entitled. Running
this command does not grant you license. You can also use this utility to
view the current license information for a server executable without starting
the server.
Repeated running of the
dblic
command updates the license information.
License type (–l) Enter the license type that matches the licensing model
described in your software license agreement. Valid entries are perseat and
concurrent.
Log output messages to file (–o) Write output messages to the named
file.
Operating system (–p) Enter the operating system for which you are
licensed. Allowed values are as follows:
♦
NetWare Novell NetWare operating system.
♦
UNIX A UNIX operating system.
♦
WIN32 Windows NT, Windows 95/98, or Windows CE operating
system.
♦
WINNT This has the same meaning as WIN32.
Operate quietly (–q) Do not display output messages.
License number (–u) The total number of licensed seats or concurrent
connections. If you are adding extra licenses, this is the total, not the number
of additional licenses.
