Since version 12.0, some new ASE features are available as licensable options, requiring license keys. Examples are the Java-in-ASE feature in 12.0+ (the ASE_JAVA license key), and the native XML engine in 12.5.1+ (the ASE_XML license key).
To enable a licensable feature, you need to install the corresponding license key in the license file. In most cases, you'll also need to enable a configuration setting: to use Java-in-ASE, the ASE_JAVA key must be installed and the configuration parameter 'enable java' must be set to 1.
If you're using licensable options (for example, when you're running the free ASE Developer's Edition), you may find the stored procedure sp_license useful. This procedure displays the status of all licensable options in your ASE server along with the setting of the corresponding configuration parameter.
Download & install
The stored procedure sp_license can be downloaded here.
Install it by downloading the file and executing it with isql (sa_role required).

These are some examples of sp_license:
