Each DB2® database
product and feature has a license key associated with it. The license
key should be registered before using the DB2 database product or feature. To verify license
compliance, run the db2licm command and generate
a compliance report.
About this task
Note: If you installed a DB2 database
product trial image, the image includes access to all features available
in the edition you are using.
Procedure
- Verify that you have registered the license keys for your DB2 database products.
- Open the License Center or issue the command db2licm
-l.
- Examine the License Type information.
- If you see License Type: "Developer",
it means that your DB2 database
product was obtained as part of Database
Enterprise Developer Edition for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
In this case, the IBM® Database Enterprise Developer
Edition license
terms take precedence over the typical DB2 product license terms.
- If you see License Type: "Restricted use",
it means that your DB2 database
product was obtained as part of another IBM product.
In this case, the license terms of the bundling product take precedence
over the typical DB2 product license terms.
- If you see License Type: "License not registered",
it means that only a base license key has been registered. You should
register the appropriate full license key for the DB2 database product.
- Verify that you have registered the license keys for your DB2 features.
- Generate a compliance report using the db2licm command
or the License Center or query the ENV_FEATURE_INFO administrative
view.
- Analyze the compliance report. If you have
not registered the license key for a used DB2 feature, the compliance report will list
the feature as a "In Violation".
