DB2 JDBC Connectivity

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
Hi,


I have never used DB2 before. I came to know from some of the other websites that I need 2 jars db2jcc.jar and another license jar.
I dint get any further info on licensing.

I want to connect from my java application to a database which is maintained by another team. Now do I need to get licenses for the individual machine that tries to connect to this database (be it a test or a prod machine)??

How do i obtain the licensing jar?

Thanks for the help.

You have to have a copy of the licensing jar, that's all. You don't have to individualize it in any way, or register, or anything else. You just need a copy of the jar in your classpath.

How do i obtain the licensing jar?



It's available from the database server machine, where it is put when the server is installed. I forget exactly where, it's been several years since I did this. If your DB2 server administrators don't know and can't figure it out, if all else fails they could search the whole machine for files with .jar extensions.

So I have to copy the jars from the server installation; That looks simple.
My question is do I need to pay separately for the license for individual client machines.

Thanks Paul for the quick reply.

Your server administrators will already have paid for their server licence. You should consider asking them these questions.

Ok...thank you.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Is this a tiny ad?
