Authorizations remaining for a key
A new action has been added to check the number of authorizations remaining for a key. See To Display Remaining Authorizations (GUI) and To Display Remaining Authorizations (CLI) in Pervasive PSQL User's Guide.
Validation action
A new action to validate keys has been added. In License Administrator, a validation action updates the state of all keys. The allows you to see if a state has changed (see next row in this table).
See To Perform a Validation (GUI) and To Perform a Validation (CLI) in Pervasive PSQL User's Guide.

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 The key is no longer valid and the database engine cannot access data files.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.)
See Key Status, or State Pervasive PSQL User's Guide.
Pervasive Notification Viewer
Pervasive Notification Viewer is a new tray application utility for displaying messages logged by the licensing components. See Pervasive Notification Viewer in “Message Logging” section.
Pervasive System Analyzer (PSA)
PSA now supports numeric and named IPv6 addresses for its network test. Note that Pervasive PSQL supports only the unicast types for IPv6 loopback, global, and link local addresses. For additional details, see Support for IPv6 in What Was New in Pervasive PSQL v11.
