How do I download my DB2 license from Passport Advantage
|
| | | Question | | How do I download my DB2 9.1 or DB2 9.5 or DB2 9.7 license from Passport Advantage®? | | | | | | Cause | Starting with DB2 Version 9, the license file is shipped separately in a file
called the Activation key. This is done for convenience so that downloading
the license file takes less time due to its small size. | | | | | Answer |
This is an example of how to obtain the activation key for DB2 Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) 9.1 which has a part number of C92AXML. The Activation key part numbers for other DB2 Version 9 products are located here:
DB2 9.1 - Activation part numbers
DB2 9.5 - Activation part numbers
DB2 9.7 - Activation part numbers
DB2 Connect Personal Edition v9 -- Activation part numbers
