Sybase SQL Error Message
Unable to start database server: missing license file
Reason for this Error
It was not possible to start the database server because the server license file was not found. The server license file has the same name as the server executable with the extension “.lic”. For example, if you have a database server executable named myserver.exe, then the database server looks for a license file named myserver.lic that is located in the same directory as the database server executable.
