Registering a DB2 product or feature license key using the License Center

From the License Center, use the Add License window to add new licenses on Linux® or Windows® operating systems. This action is also referred to as applying license entitlement certificates or adding a license.

Important:
The License Center has been deprecated in Version 9.7 and might be removed in a future release. For more information, see the "Control Center tools and DB2 administration server (DAS) have been deprecated" topic in the What's New in Version 9.7 book.

To complete this task, you must have the appropriate license file (*.lic). Refer to DB2 license files. On Linux operating systems, the instance owner must have read and execute privileges on the directory where the license files are located.

To register a DB2® license key:

  1. Click License Center icon in the Control Center to open the License Center. Select the system for which you want to add a new license.
  2. Select an instance.
  3. The Installed Products field will display the name of the products that you have installed. Select a product.
  4. Select Add from the License menu. The Add License dialog opens.
  5. Select the license key (*.lic) that you want to add.
  6. Click OK to add the license key.

The license information is refreshed immediately in the License Center.
