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 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.

  1. Launch the Control Center.
  2. Select License Center from the Tools menu list.
