Sybase 15 manual Borrowing a license to work offline

Borrowing a license to work offline

IBM AIX:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysam.boot /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K02sysam

HP-UX:

ln -s /sbin/init.d/sysam.boot /sbin/rc2.d/K002sysam

Note The run number (2 above) should be chosen such that it is lower than that of subsystems required by SySAM such as networking services and higher than the run number of applications that require SySAM such as Adaptive Server Enterprise.

Borrowing a license to work offline

Use the lmborrow option to check out licenses from the network license server, if you will be disconnected from the network for extended period of time.

Replication Server periodically executes a “heartbeat” on the network license server to update license status. If the machine running Replication Server is disconnected from the network, these heartbeats fail and eventually the software becomes unavailable. Borrowing a license before disconnecting from the network suspends the heartbeat checks and provides full use of the software while disconnected.

Specify the end time when you perform the borrow operation. At the end of the lease, you can obtain a new lease by connecting back to the network. You can also return a license earlier than the lease end time.

Note You cannot borrow a license when you are use local license files.
