New state for a key and period allowed for correction of failures
A new state for a key, “failed validation,” has been added.
Pervasive PSQL licensing components periodically verify that the key for the database engine is still valid. If a key is determined to be invalid, the key changes state from “active” to “failed validation.” The database engine functions normally for a certain number of days so that you have ample time to correct the validation failure(s). By default, the number of days is 14.
If you do not correct the failures before the number of days ends, the key changes state again to “disabled.” The key is no longer valid and the database engine cannot access data files. (The number of days is automatically extended, if necessary, so that a key changes state to “disabled” only from Tuesday through Thursday in the local time zone.)
