LIC1449N error applying DB2 Enterprise Server Edition license on a 32-bit Linux system

Troubleshooting


Problem

I receive the below error when applying the DB2 Enterprise Server Edition license on a 32-bit Linux system: LIC1449N The license was not installed due to a platform restriction. Explanation: This DB2 product is only supported in trial mode, also known as "Try and Buy" mode, on this platform. User response: Continue to use this product in trial mode, or install one which is fully supported on this platform.

Cause

DB2 Enterprise Server Edition v9.5 and higher is only supported in Test and Development mode on 32-bit Linux systems.

Resolving The Problem



A DB2 Enterprise Server Edition permanent license may only be applied on a 64-bit Linux system.

Here are your options:

  • Upgrade the OS to 64-bit Linux and then install Enterprise Server Edition and license.
  • Purchase another DB2 edition such as DB2 Workgroup Server Edition or DB2 Express Edition. You will need to also obtain and apply the corresponding permanent license.
  • Purchase DB2 Developer's Edition for 32-bit Linux. The Developer's Edition license certificate (db2dede.lic) can be applied on top of a Enterprise Server Edition install without any problems.
