The following are instructions from the SAP Advantage Database program help on expanding users for an Advantage Database.

A utility is provided, adsstamp.exe, that allows upgrades and expansions of the Advantage Database. The upgrade functionality is useful for upgrading to a new maintenance release (i.e., a new .x release) of the Advantage Database without having to re-run the Advantage Database installation program. The expansion functionality is useful to expand the Advantage Database to a greater number of users (given a new validation code) without having to re-run the Advantage Database installation program. This utility also allows the ANSI/OEM collation language and other product information that is currently being used by the Advantage Database to be modified.

For best results, while using a computer running a Windows operating system, run the adsstamp.exe utility from the directory in which the Advantage Database is installed. For example, if the Advantage Database Server is installed in the e:\Program Files\Advantage 12.0\Server directory, change your current directory to e:\Program Files\Advantage 12.0\Server and run adsstamp.exe.

Important Note:  Stop or unload the Advantage Database before running the adsstamp.exe utility.
