Db2 license files

Full license certificate files are required for all Db2 database products (including Db2 Connect) and Db2 add-on offerings.

Product images that are downloaded from Passport Advantage include the product license certificate file and are applied automatically at the end of the installation process. If the product image was not downloaded from Passport Advantage, for example the image was downloaded from Fix Central, you must manually apply the product license certificate file after you install Db2.

The license certificate file is found in the /db2/license directory of the Activation CD. You can obtain Activation CD images or license certificate from the following links:
Attention:

To download the Db2 license from Passport Advantage as a customer, follow the steps listed on the Passport Advantage page for customers.

To download the Db2 license as a business partner, visit the Passport Advantage page for business partners.

Applying a license certificate file is also referred to as registering or adding a license. You can use the db2licm license management tool command to apply a license certificate file or to check what license certificate files were previously applied. You can find the Db2 database product license terms at: http://www.ibm.com/software/sla.

For a list of license certificate file names, refer to Table 1.
Remember: License certificate files that end in _t.lic are trial licenses and usage is limited to 90 days from the date of installation.
