Hi,

For the first time ever we're installing the Core edition license for SQL Anywhere 17 (4 cores), but at the start setup I only had an option to enter the number of licensed seats, without specifying that it's a Core license. So I entered 100 seats just to install the package.

But now I'm trying to change it using dblic utility:

dblic -l core dbsrv17.lic "Administrator" "Company"

but the utility does not run, I just get the usage text:

*SQL Anywhere Server Licensing Utility Version 17.0.10.6175
Usage: dblic [options] license_file ["user name" "company name"]
        @<data> expands <data> from environment variable <data> or file <data>   
Options (use specified case, as shown):
        -l <type>      license type: perseat or core
        -k <key>       registration key
        -o <file>      append output messages to file
        -q             quiet: do not display messages
        -u <n>         number of users or processors for license*

Curiously, all of these work just fine:

dblic -l perseat -u 10 dbsrv17.lic "Administrator" "Company"

dblic -l perseat -u 200 dbsrv17.lic "Administrator" "Company"

dblic -l perseat -u 500 dbsrv17.lic "Administrator" "Company"

if I want to change the number of licensed seats, but switch "-l core" as indicated in SQL Anywhere 17 documentation does not work, I just get text with how to use dblic command?

Never done this before, so am I missing something about the DBLIC utility?

Thanks
