Some of my users started to receive Temporary License about to expire messages. When we migrated from 9.8 to 14.1 the Sage Pervasive Licensing mechanism provided 90 day temporary licenses. When initially speaking with support they indicated that the licenses would automatically grab permanent licenses from the SAGE Licensing server. This was not happening. I needed to call support - verify my company information - the support rep then generated licenses for me which I Authorized using the Pervasive Licensing Software under the Pervasive programs. One note is in certain cases you must stop and then start the Pervasive Engine in Administrator mode. I found clicking the shift key while clicking Start Pervasive Engine added a run as administrator option. I then was able to Authorize the new license key. Of course you will need overall administrator access to the workstation you are on - so bottom line is call tech support.
