DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Updating a Trial license

If you installed a DB2® product with a trial license and now want to update to a full license, you must update the product license key.

About this task

To update your DB2 license:

Before you begin

You cannot use this method to update from one DB2 product to another.

If a previously licensed copy of a DB2 server product does not already exist, a single server fix pack image can be used to install any of the DB2 database server products. In this case, the license installed is a trial license.

Procedure

Get the license key. The license key is available from either:
- the activation key that you downloaded from Passport Advantage®, or
- the Activation CD that you received in the physical media pack from IBM®.
Register the license key using the License Center or the db2licm command.
Note: The trial license for DB2 Enterprise Server Edition on 32-bit Linux cannot be updated to a production license.
