Status 161

The maximum number of user count licenses has been reached

Description (from Pervasive help file)

You attempted to open another session when you were at the limit of your user count license. Either close a session or upgrade your user count.

This status code is also returned after a trial or temporary license has expired. If all users receive this error and no one is able to access the database engine, then most likely you have been using a temporary license key and you must now apply a regular license key. Please contact your reseller or Pervasive Software to purchase a regular license.

For more information about purchasing and installing additive user counts, refer to Getting Started with Pervasive.SQL. You can use Monitor to determine which users currently have connections to Pervasive.SQL. For information about Monitor, refer to Advanced Operations Guide.

Additional Information

  • Double check your licence codes using the pervasive licence administrator
  • - Sometimes the have not been installed and the temporary codes have expired.
  • - It is possible that the wrong codes have been entered. For example a server licence was given for a workstation install. Please see the licence manager to verify, as it will note the problem on the line containing the licence codes which are not valid for this installation.
  • Hung database connections can also use up licences, use the pervasive monitor utility to remove these connections (Technicians only), or log everyone out of System Five on all computers and reboot your server.
