Installing on Linux (disconnected scenario)

A complete deployment of License Metric Tool on Linux requires the installation of the License Metric Tool server and the DB2 database. Additionally, the disconnected (stand-alone) scanner must be installed on every computer from which you want to collect software inventory data.

The following procedure describes the simplest installation path which uses the All-in-One installer to install the License Metric Tool server and DB2 database on a single computer. Installation of DB2 on a separate Linux computer is also supported, but not recommended and thus not described step by step. To install the License Metric Tool server and DB2 separately, use separate installers. For information about available installation packages, see: Downloading IBM License Metric Tool 9.2.
