DB2 Connect Quick Beginnings for UNIX**

Upgrading DB2 from Try and Buy Mode

You can upgrade a DB2 product from the Try and Buy mode to a licensed version in two ways. You can use the command line utility called db2licm or use the License Center. The License Center is a built-in feature of the Control Center.

On UNIX Operating Systems

To add a license using the command line:

1. Log in as a user with root authority.
2. The db2licm utility can be found in the following locations:
   • For AIX, /usr/lpp/db2_07_01/adm/
   • For LINUX, /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1/adm/
   • For HP-UX, PTX, Solaris, PTX, /opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/adm/
3. Issue the following command:

      db2licm filename.lic
   

   where filename.lic represents the name of the licensing file. For more information about the db2licm command, refer to the Command Reference.

On OS/2 and Windows 32-bit Operating Systems

To add a license using the command line:

1. Go to the <install directory>\bin directory, where <install directory> represents the directory where you installed the product.
2. To add a license, issue the following command:

      db2licm path/filename.lic
   

   License files are contained in the db2/license directory of the installation CD.

   For more information about the db2licm command, refer to the Command Reference.
