DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Registering the license certificate file for a DB2 pureScale environment using the db2licm command

Use the db2licm command to apply the license certificate filefor a DB2® pureScale® environment

Before you begin

In a DB2 pureScale environment, the license entitlement is included in the DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition and DB2 Advanced Workgroup Server Edition - Authorized User Single Install and PVU offerings. You simply need to apply the appropriate license certificate file for the DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition or DB2 Advanced Workgroup Server Edition.

The license certificate file can be found on the Activation CD, which is included in your product package or can be downloaded from the Passport Advantage® website (http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/.)

About this task

In a DB2 pureScale environment, before adding new members, register all licenses on the installation-initiating host (IIH.) In this case, if you initiate installation onto more members from the IIH the DB2 installer automatically copies all license certificate files onto the new members and installs them. However, if you install new members from their own machine, you must manually install the license certificate files on each member using the db2licm command.

If you install additional licenses after the new member has been added, you must register the license certificate file on each member manually.

Procedure

   /opt/IBM/db2/V10.5/adm/db2licm -a filename

where filename is the full path name and file name for either the DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition or DB2 Advanced Workgroup Server Edition license certificate file.
