System Lockdown
The HANA DATABASE goes into lockdown mode in the following situations:
● The temporary license key has expired.
● You were using a temporary license key and the hardware key has changed.
● The permanent license key has expired and you did not renew it within 28 days.
● The installed license key is an enforced license key and the current memory consumption exceeds the licensed amount plus the tolerance.
● You deleted all license keys installed in your database.
In lockdown mode, no queries are possible. Only a user with the system privilege LICENSE ADMIN can connect to the database and execute license-related queries, such as, obtain previous license data, install a new license key, and delete installed license keys.
In addition, the database cannot be backed up in lockdown mode.
Note
If a system has locked down due to an invalid or expired license, the icon indicating the operational status of the system in the Systems view and the System Monitor changes accordingly.
