Hi.

I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. If not, please tell me where to go (you know what I mean!).

I'm currently running SQL Anywhere Studio 6 and have a 5-user license. I'm in the process of purchasing an additional 10-user licenses and wondered if someone could walk me through the process of adding these licenses.

What I could find was kind of ambiguous. The directions basically said to go to the SQL server (Windows 2000 Server OS), shut down the database(s) and run, "DBLIC.EXE" in the following format:

DBLIC [switches] exename "user name" "company name"

For example, in my case, I have a five user Windows 2000 database server and want to add an additional 10 users. I would run DBLIC utility as follows:

DBLIC -I CONCURRENT -P WINNT -U 15 DBSRV6 "JOHN SMITH" "XYZ COMPANY"

where:

-I = licence type
-P = OS
-U = TOTAL # of licenses (existing + new)
-O = log output messages to file
-Q = run in silent mode

Questions:

1) Is this correct?
2) Where do I find the "exename", "user name" and "company name" info?
3) How do I verify that the licenses are correctly installed?

Am I in the ballpark???

MANY TIAs for any and all suggestions!
