Try-and-Buy versions are available for some of the DB2 products. If you install a product originally as Try-and-Buy, you do not need to reinstall the same product to upgrade the license. Simply add the license from the DB2 CD-ROM that comes in the product box.
Note: | Your Proof of Entitlement and License Information booklets identify the products for which you are licensed. |
The following steps describe how to upgrade the license:
DB2DIR/cfg/db2licinst license_filename
| where DB2DIR | = /usr/lpp/db2_05_00 | on AIX |
|
| = /opt/IBMdb2/V5.0 | on Solaris |
and license_filename is the full pathname for the license file that corresponds to the product you have purchased. The names of the license files for these products are:.
For example, if the CD-ROM is mounted in the /cdrom directory and the name of the license file is db2eent.lic, the command should be as follows:
DB2DIR/cfg/db2licinst /cdrom/db2/license/db2eent.nod
DB2DIR/cfg/db2licinst /cdrom_unnamed/db2/license/db2eent.nod
Note: | The DB2 product license key can be found in the nodelock file,
