Entitlement by limited use socket

You can purchase DB2® Workgroup Server Edition licenses per limited use socket (LU socket), per processor, or per user.

For information about the processor or user entitlements, refer to Entitlement by processor or users.

A socket is defined as electronic circuitry that accepts a processor chip. A processor chip is defined as the electronic circuitry that contains one or more processor cores and plugs into a socket.

You must obtain one limited use socket license for each socket on the server where DB2 Workgroup Server Edition is installed. You must also limit the resource usage for each server to 128 GB of instance memory and a maximum of four processor sockets on a physical server.
