DB2 license files
There are two types of license files that are associated
with DB2® database products: base
license certificate files and full license certificate
files. These files are stored in plain text files.
Checking DB2 license compliance
Each DB2 database
product and offering has a license certificate file associated with
it. The license certificate file should be registered before using
the DB2 database product or
offering. To verify license compliance, run the db2licm command
and generate a compliance report.
Updating a Trial license
If you downloaded the DB2 trial edition from the DB2 database software
download site, and now want to update to a full license, you must
update the product license certificate file.
