The License Authorization File is a binary file containing unique licensing information assigned by FairCom. This licensing information permits the FairCom Server technology to operate on a specified operating system, to support specific features, to support a fixed number of concurrent users and/or connections to the FairCom DB Standalone SQL Service technology, and to utilize a fixed number of CPUs on the host machine.
The license file is named ctsrvr-<SN>.lic where <SN> is the unique Serial Number assigned to your FairCom DB Standalone SQL Service instance and provided by FairCom. This file will need to be properly placed in the same directory where the FairCom DB Standalone SQL Service binary is located, typically a "sql_service" folder.
An example developer license is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<ctlicense version="2">
<version>11</version>
<serial>39000010</serial>
<OEM>1</OEM>
<lictype>Development</lictype>
<cpus>2</cpus>
<servtype>ALL (Standard - SQL)</servtype>
<users>32</users>
<private>EDE . . . QGP</private>
<checksum>LE47LG9DNM06IA30CGAFFO00NMCEJL59</checksum>
</ctlicense>
Note that you can read the most relevant sections of this XML file in plain text regarding serial numbers, connection and CPU counts. If this licensing file isn’t present, you'll receive a 960 error in your faircom_sql_service.exe status log (a text-based file called CTSTATUS.FCS) upon startup:
"LICENSE ERROR: License initialization failed: Missing license file."
