The IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition (DEDE) product bundle comes with an overriding license. You can find the license terms for DEDE in three places:

The Passport Advantage® media pack contains a hardcopy or PDF license.
The DEDE Quick Start and Activation CD contains the DEDE license key and the DEDE license text file.
The main license document for each DB2 database server product contains the DEDE license terms.

You can transfer a developer license to a new user, but you cannot share it. For example, you can transfer the Proof of Entitlement (PoE) due to change of employment status (for example, when someone leaves the company or department and is replaced with someone else), but you cannot share the license by transferring the PoE across work shifts or use it for job sharing. However, the IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition license is transferable among servers. You can use a single license to access any data servers included in the license for development or QA purposes.

In addition to the IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition bundle, which is used for high-end development and testing, the DB2 Express-C developer offering, which is free, is also available. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/db2/express.
