Doug,

The use of their local database engine is free but severely limited w/o the Advantage Database Server (http://www.sybase.com/products/databasemanagement/advantagedatabaseserver/local-server)

Licensing note:
If an Advantage application is distributed to work without the Advantage Database Server (i.e., it uses the Advantage Local Server to access data), the application must act as a "client" that directly accesses and uses the data. The application cannot act as "middleware" or as a "server" by having the data forwarded by any means to a separate computer. In other words, it is illegal to use the Advantage Local Server with a Web server, an application server, a terminal server or any other type of middleware or server product to access data on behalf of remote computers. An Advantage Database Server (a.k.a. remote server) product must be purchased and used to allow an Advantage application to access data on behalf of applications running on remote computers.
