Checking DB2 license compliance
Each DB2 product and feature has a license file associated with it. The license file
should be registered before using the DB2 product or feature. The License Center
lists product information on the main panel. DB2 products that do not have the
license registered show the License Type as not registered.
To verify license compliance of DB2 features, you can generate a compliance
report. The compliance report lists DB2 features out of compliance with your
current product entitlement. Each DB2 feature status is listed as either:
v In compliance: indicating no violations are detected
v Violation: indicating the feature is not licensed and has been used.
Note:
Some DB2 functionality is only available under license when purchased as
part of a DB2 feature.
You can generate a compliance report using the License Center or the db2licm
command.
Procedure:
To generate the compliance report from the License Center, select
License→Generate Compliance Report.
To generate compliance report using the db2licm command, enter the following
command from the command line:
v For Linux and UNIX operating systems:
db2instance_path/adm/db2licm -g filename
