Error description
The db2 license daemon might be spawned from application when User Policy is enabled. Because db2 client code keep track the license with license daemon in this settings, and might spawn license daemon if it's not started. This behavior is expected one, but all the file descriptor includes sockt will be inherited by db2licd and it might cause some problems on the application.
Local fix
Please start db2licd manually to prevent application spawns the daemon.
Problem summary
Users affected: Users who enable user policy license. For example: $ db2licm -l | grep -i "user policy" Registered Connect User Policy = "Enabled" . Problem Description: The db2 license daemon might be spawned from application when User Policy is enabled. Because db2 client code keep track the license with license daemon in this settings, and might spawn license daemon if it's not started. This behavior is expected one, but all the file descriptor includes socket will be inherited by db2licd and it might cause some problems on the application. . Problem Summary: Application might fork db2licd, so the license daemon might inherit file descriptors includes sockets. For example, db2licd inherits all sockets from Java application server, because Java has no capability to mark close-on-exec for the descriptors.
Problem conclusion
Problem was first fixed in Version 9.1 fixpack 8 (s090823)
Temporary fix
Please launch db2licd manually.
