DBLic, how to show number of licensed users?

[Mike Niemann]

All,

On-line help claims that...

a.. Viewing current license information The dblic utility now accepts an
argument that allows you to view current license information for a server
executable without starting the server.

For more information, see The License utility.

So I go to the appropriate page, and...

Syntax
dblic { options } executable-name user-name company-name

Option Description
-l type License type. Allowed values are perseat or concurrent
-o filename Log output messages to a file
-p operating-system Target operating system. Allowed values are
NetWare, UNIX, WIN32, WINNT
-q Operate quietly-do not print messages
-u license-number Total number of users for license
Executable-name The executable to be licensed, with path relative to
the current directory. Should be either an Adaptive Server Anywhere network
database server or a MobiLink synchronization server.


However, the syntax page does not mention any such option... and everything
I've tried doesn't work. Can anyone provide some guidance?

Regards, Mike Niemann

Simply running dblic <path>\dbsrv9.exe will provide the license information.

Dmitri,

Thanks, works like a charm. [It seems there was a pathing issue, so I was
probably running a ASA 6 DBLic...].

Maybe - a brief search indicates that this capability has been added in
ASA7.
