3.6. Installing a DB2 License

Licenses are automatically installed if you installed the DB2 product using the DB2 Setup Wizard or response file. If you installed DB2 using the db2_install script or the operating system's native install tools, you need to install the licenses manually.

There are two ways you can install a DB2 license: using the GUI License Center or the db2licm command.

3.6.1. Installing a DB2 Product License Using the License Center

The License Center is a GUI tool you can use to display, add, remove, or change a license. To start the License Center from the Control Center, click on the icon that looks like a key and a user (see Figure 3.23).
