Hi Annapoorani,

I believe that jConnect is "free to download" but you will need to license the server appropriately to use it. For example, SQL Anywhere licenses are core and named user based. If core, there would be no additional licensing costs for clients supplied by SQL Anywhere ( and perhaps jConnect). If you are named user, you will need a client license even if jConnect is not a licensed component.

We were able to download Jconnect jar specification version 7.0 for jdbc4.0 version from below link,

https://sourceforge.net/projects/id2d/files/jdbc%20drivers/jconn4.jar/download

Where we can download jconnect jar specification version 16.0

I am not sure what you mean by license file for jConnect. SQL Anywhere does not deal with jConnect licensing just SQL Anywhere.

jConnect is included with the ASE SDK and can be downloaded via the SAP Downloads. Search for SDK FOR SAP ASE 16.0.
