Starting a 1 CPU License ASA in a 2 CPU server

Hi,
I'm running ASA 9.0.0.1120 on RedHat Enterprise 3.4
This is a new server running Pentium4 with HT, its
a 2 CPU for the kernel.
When I start the dbsrv9 process, I receive a warning saying:

Warning: The server is limited to use 1 processor(s), but it is
executing on 2 processor(s).

Per-processor licensing model. The server is limited to use 1 processor(s).

And the server seems not to start, because the last message is:
Starting database "example" (/example.db) at Sat May 14 2005 15:40

So, no network information is printed, also, no port is
listed while listing all listen port of the server:
$ netstat -tunl

What could be the problem?

Thanks
Oliver

If this is a new setup, you might consider getting the latest release of
9.x: the 9.0.2 MR for Linux/Unix was recently released.

This is expected, but is just a warning not an error. It indicates that
there are more CPUs available than you are licensed for and that is all.

Can you show us the exact command line you are using to start the engine?

Is the process running? (use the command "ps -ef | grep db")

BTW: you will likely get better (or at least more) responses to
questions on the ASA/Linux newsgroup:

sybase.public.sqlanywhere.linux

Hope this helps,

Thanks Greg,
the problem is that my customer can't install 9.0.0, the
software they buyed is certified in 9.0.0 and they are
waiting for 9.0.2 certification.

Will post in the Linux newsgroup, thanks!
