Abstract
After April 30, 2009, DB2 Universal Database (DB2 UDB) V8 will reach its end of support date. If you are using the license-restricted copy of DB2 UDB that comes with WebSphere InterChange Server (WICS), you can continue to use it as long as you use WICS. If you separately acquired DB2 UDB V8 to meet your database needs for WICS and other uses, you will need to make plans to upgrade DB2 UDB V8 or seek a support extension.
