Upgrading from a Try-and-Buy License
To upgrade from a Try-and-Buy license, perform the following steps:
Step 1. | Start the Control Center. For more information, see Starting the Control Center. |
Step 2. | Click on the License Center icon from the Control Center toolbar. The License Center opens. |
Step 3. | Complete the steps to upgrade your DB2 license. For more information, refer to the License Center's online help by pressing the F1 key.
|
If you are upgrading your DB2 product to a higher entitlement, you must ensure that you uninstall your current installation of DB2 and then reinstall your new licensed product.
For example, if you have a Try-and-Buy version of DB2 Workgroup Edition installed on your machine, and you purchased a license for DB2 Enterprise Edition, you must ensure that you remove the installed copy of DB2 Workgroup Edition and then reinstall DB2 Enterprise Edition.
If you did not install the DB2 tools, you can upgrade your Try-and-Buy license using the db2licm command. For more information, refer to the Command Reference.
| Note: | Your Proof of Entitlement and License Information booklets identify the products for which you are licensed. |
