SQL Anywhere Licenses v9 with v16 and v16 with v9

Have a customer running Sybase SQL Anywhere v9.
They currently have nine networked client licenses.
They need an additional seven.
The current SAP license offering is v16 networked client licenses.
Will v16 networked client licenses work with v9 SQL Anywhere?
Additionally,
The customer will eventually upgrade to SQL Anywhere v16.
Will their current v9 networked client licenses work with SQL Anywhere v16?
Thanks.

Hi George,
I believe that the client needs to buy or upgrade (if this is possible) the available licenses to the last version to be legal... If your question is about using asa 9 client to connect in a v. 16 server, then the answer is,  it should work, but only functionality from asa 9 will be available in the client side. Actually, in the past we had an issue, where a 3rd party application was not able to communicate with an sql anywhere server v.11 using v.11 client. But it was working fine to connect using obbc client from asa 8! We do have a cpu license which has no limit on the clients... So we used asa 8 to connect through the 3rd party app, and 11 client to connect through our application.
And the remaining question is if it's legal or not... and I'm not the appropriate person to give an answer...
Andreas.

  • Installing Sybase SQL Anywhere license keys after initial installation.

    Hi,
    I installed Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 before I actually received the valid License Key. So during the installation I've used the license key provided by the instructions.  Afterwards, I've received the purchase license key.  Do i need to reinstall SQL Anywhere all over?  Or can it just continue to function on that license key?  From what i understand, I can not change the license key after the installation was complete.  I would have to completely uninstall and re-install SQL Anywhere 16. Is that correct?
    Thanks
    Aron

    Hi Aron,
    I would have to completely uninstall and re-install SQL Anywhere 16. Is that correct?
    No, you don't have to do this in SQL Anywhere 16 - you can change SQL Anywhere editions by changing the license key on the accompanying server executable license file (e.g. dbsrv16.lic) with the Server Licensing Utility (dblic). You can use the "-k" switch in order to specify a new key:
    dblic -k <reg_key> dbsrv16.lic

  • Finding SQL Server licensing information for 2005 and above.

    I can use SELECT serverproperty('LicenseType'), serverproperty('NumLicenses') on SQL Server 2000 but these server properties are no longer being returned in SQL Server 2005 and later.  This information doesn't seem to be recorded in the registry for
    SQL Server 2005 and later.
    Is there an easy way to query or report licensing information for SQL Server 2005 onwards?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Since SQL Server Version 2005 you have all license Information only on paper; so you have to lookup your papers to get the Information.

  • SQL Anywhere 11 on Ubuntu / PHP

    Hi there,
    I have been trying (with no success) to connnect our PHP app to Sybase database.
    Our actual scenario is:
    Windows2003/ ODBC {SQL Anywhere 11 Driver} / PHP ------> Windows2008 / Sybase
    We are to migrate our PHP:
    Linux Ubuntu Server / UnixOBC {SQL Anywhere 11 ODBC Driver} / PHP -------> Windows2008 / Sybase
    In the migration process I configured FreeTDS trying somethink like:
    /etc/fretds/freetds.conf
    [global]
        tds version = 4.2
        dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
    ;    debug flags = 0xffff
    ;    timeout = 10
    ;    connect timeout = 10
        text size = 64512
    [sybase]
        host = 172.19.2.252
        port = 2640
    ;    instance = ek_cadu_0103040607
        tds version = 5.0
        ASA database = ek_adm01_11
    php-script
    <?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', '1');
    $cnn = sybase_connect('sybase', 'dba', '_._ENKONTROL_._');
    ?>
    This script shows the following errors:
    Warning: sybase_connect(): message: SQL Anywhere Error -83: Specified database not found (severity 16) in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4
    Warning: sybase_connect(): General SQL Server error: Check messages from the SQL Server (severity 16) in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4 Warning: sybase_connect(): Unable to connect to server: sybase in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4
    Can anyone help?. Thank you in advance.
    Marinho.

    Hi Marinho,
    SQL Anywhere does not support FreeTDS. SQL Anywhere does support Open Client and jConnect connections over TDS.
    The sybase_* functions pre-built with PHP are for (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), not SQL Anywhere - they are separate products.
    Is there a particular reason you're not using the SQL Anywhere PHP module ( http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40537 ), with the sasql_* functions that are intended for use with SQL Anywhere?

  • Connect to Sybase SQL Anywhere from a remote location.

    BH
    Hi, we are running SQL Anywhere 16.  Currently our client computers are connecting through ODBC.  Is there a way to connect to our server from a Remote Location (over the internet)?  If yes, how?
    Thanks
    Aron

    Hi Aron,
    Is there a way to connect to our server from a Remote Location (over the internet)?
    Yes, there is.
    If yes, how?
    You will need to supply a HOSTNAME (or direct IP) and PORT to the server running the network database server, communicating over TCP (Note: This may involve opening a TCP port on your firewall to provide a direct TCP route). For the SQL Anywhere client, this information can be set in the ODBC DSN entry as the following screenshot shows:
    Note that this is unencrypted traffic across TCP/IP, by default.
    If this communication is over the Internet, using an unencrypted channel directly to the database is not recommended. Instead, we would recommend that you also configure Transport Layer Security (TLS) with strong encryption enabled using a certificate (either self-signed or provided by a Certificate Authority (CA)). To do this, you need to create the certificates and then start the SQL Anywhere database server with the (private) server-side identity certificate.
    Once the database server is started, you will then need to configure the client for secure communication with the public certificate. When configuring Transport Layer Security on the ODBC client, the security settings (e.g. trusted_certificates, certificate_unit, certificate_company, certificate_name) can be entered on the "Network" tab:

  • Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 and SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16

    Hello,
    Is there a difference between Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 and SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16?
    If there is, could you please list out the general information. i.e. is v12 (i.e. pre SAP purchase of Sybase) just older than v16 (i.e. post SAP purchase of Sybase) ?
    I know that Hyland's OnBase 14 supports both of these versions. Just having a difficult time trying to find information about Sybase SQLA v12 - if it is even still available for purchase, etc.
    Any information would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Christian Jones

    SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16 is the next major version of SQL Anywhere after SQL Anywhere 12.
    The following documentation link DocCommentXchange will include  information about the changes made for v16.  For information specific to v12, see DocCommentXchange which has links for both v12.0.0 and v12.0.1 documentation as I suspect that most of the marketing materials would be focused on v16.
    Both v12 and v16 are available for sale. Here is a link SAP SQL Anywhere v16.0 | SAP Online Store
    where you will purchase v12 and v16 software (look at the sidebar for the v12 links).

  • Having issues with getting SQL Server Express to start services and run.

    Good afternoon everyone,
    I have been working on a 2012 R2 server getting ready to move databases to new hardware.  I had SQL Server Express 2008 R2 running on this server with no issues.  I was handed another software package that ran SQL Express 2012 and had to for compatibility
    reasons.  I have had multiple versions run on Server 2012 before with no issues.  This time, not so lucky.  When the installer from the updated package put on SQL Express 2012 it completed with errors ( error log posted at the end of post) and
    would not allow me to run software.  I then tried the db that I had installed on 2008 R2 and it also gave the  same error as the 2012 version.  IN basic terms the required services attempted to start and shut back down again.  I have received
    Error 1068 about database handles and error %%945.   I know this db has plenty of space and the permissions were added for the Admin account to access both db's.  I then uninstalled both versions and tried again, with the same errors listed when
    I tried to start the services.     I am thinking that a clean install would fix the issue however I am not certain what files/folders/reg entries need to be deleted or modified.  I have researched all the errors I can find, however I am very
    new with SQL anything so I know I am missing something.   I also do not have an "E:" drive on this server (not sure why it is going there). Input would be very welcome as I am not certain where to go from here. 
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi HMLunger,
    Did you install the SQL Server instance successfully? If not, please help to post the summary and detail logs for analysis. By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    However, if you fail to start SQL Server Express service after successfully installing SQL Server,
    you might have to change the paths of the files by running the following scripts from the command prompt. For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    NET START MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS /f /T3608
    SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE model MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    go
    exit;
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    ALTER DATABASE msdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path\os_file_name');
    NET STOP MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
    In addition, you can follow the steps in this KB article to uninstall SQL Server.

    Also, does anyone know how to determine the location (full path) of the unixODBC driver manager ?
    Please assist if you can...thx.
    Edited by: user601798 on Oct 15, 2012 3:37 PM

    Let me start with the unixODBC driver:
    There's no generic location as it depends which package you've used to install the UnixODBC driver manager or how you compiled it from scratch. I commonly prefer to compile it from scratch as this offers me to install it to any location I like.
    If you're not sure where it is located, you could perform a search on your machine looking for libodbc.so. Then cross check it with "file <location>/libodbc.so" to see the lib is a 64bit library.
    So let's assume in the /usr/lib64 you found the libodbc.so library, then the setting
    HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/libodbc.so
    is correct. Else you need to adopt the parameter.
    Next step is to check out which unixODBC version is installed. That's commonly done by calling "odbcinst -j".
    Looking now ta the gateway init file there's a parameter HS_NLS_NCHAR set to UTF-8. UnixODBC is commonly compiled with UCS2 support, so please change it to HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
    Could you also please post the content of the odbc.ini file "more /etc/odbc.ini"?
    Thanks,
    Klaus

  • Problems with JConnect, Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.x

    Hi
    I use Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.x, Apache Server, Apache Jserver.(WINNT)
    I must to write servlet, which connects to Sybase database using JConnect.
    When database is on the same host as Apache server, and my servlet i run services:
    Open Server Gateway (dbos50.exe <server_name>), where server_name in sql.ini is
    "master=NLWNSCK,x.x.x.x,8001" (x.x.x.x is my IP)
    Standalone Engine (dbeng50.exe <path to the database>)
    And all is ok
    But I don't known, what to do, when my database is on other host, neither my servlet(aplication and JConnect)
    Which services I must run on Host, where database is?
    Which services I must run on Host, where JConnect and servlet(aplication) are?
    Must I use Cascade Gateway or TDS tunneling?
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I need to connect to Sybase SQL Anywhere version 5.5.05, too, but I can't find the driver to connect to the server, could u tell me about this? Please share it with if available.
    thanks.

  • Sql Anywhere v11 with 5 seats

    Hello,
    I have a peculiar problem. I have SqlAnywhere v11 with 5 seats. I have been using it since 8/10/2009. And recently the machine where we housed everything crashed completely. Now I am stock. And I need to deploy the application with the database. I don't have the software anywhere else. I contacted the vendor Programmer's Paradise (Alias TechXtend). They were able to justify my order number and invoice. But they don't have the product anywhere for me to get. SAP recommended that I raise the issue here. Is there any help out there?
    Placide.

    Hi Placide,
    If the original vendor doesn't have the software available, I don't believe you will be able to obtain this software. SQL Anywhere 11 was end-of-life'd, prior to the SAP acquisition of Sybase.
    SQL Anywhere 16 / SQL Anywhere 12 are available via the SAP Store. For details on this, see this question on the SQL Anywhere forum.

  • Trouble with SQL Anywhere 16

    We are having an issue with SQL Anywhere 16 and were wondering if there is a patch/fix or something that we need to look elsewhere. Our tester is being kicked out of out Sybase application whenever doing certain types of queries and as a result the database is being shutdown. We then have to go back into Sybase 16 and restart the database. We do not recall having this problem with SQL Anywhere 11.5. We have just recently upgraded to SQL Anywhere 16.

    Hi Lawrence,
    I think there's some confusion from both groups on this question. There was never a SQL Anywhere 11.5 version - we had SQL Anywhere 11.0.0, and SQL Anywhere 11.0.1. There was an ASE 11.5 and ASE 16.0 release though, so it is confusing to know which product you are inquiring about based on the version.
    Please provide some further details about which product you are using, the method in which you're using to start your database, and the connection strings that you're using. Hopefully with some more specific database configuration information, we can help you figure out which database product you're looking for additional help on and provide some suggestions.
