Setting the Number of Licensed Processors

If you are using an SMP machine and you have purchased additional processor entitlements, you can update this information using the db2licm command.

Note:

An instance must be created on UNIX-based operating systems before performing these steps.

To update the number of License Processors, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as a user with SYSADM, SYSCTRL or SYSMAINT authority.
2. The db2licm utility can be found in the following locations:
   • For Unix-based operating systems, if INSTHOME/sqllib/adm is not in your PATH, change your directory.
   • For Windows 32-bit operating systems and OS/2, go to x:\DB2DIR\bin, where x:\DB2DIR\is your DB2 installation drive and path.
3. Obtain the product password by issuing the db2licm -l command. The DB2 products are listed as follows:

   Enterprise-Extended Edition

   DB2UDBEEE DB

   Enterprise Edition

   DB2UDBEE DB2

   Warehouse Manager

   DB2UDBWM DB2

   Relational Connect

   DB2RELC DB2

   Spatial Extenders

   DB2UDBGSE

4. Update the number of processors using:

   db2licm -n [product password] [number of processors]
