DB2 8.1 PE Licence question ....

I have downloaded UDB PE 8.1 on Win XP. Issuing the command "db2licm
-l" gives the following output:

Product Name = "DB2 Personal Edition"
Product Password = "DB2PE"
Version Information = "8.1"
Expiry Date = "Permanent"
Annotation = ""
Other information = ""

Whwat does "Expiry Date = Permanent" mean? Till when is the licence
valid and till when can I use the PE that I have downloaded.

Please reply urgently since my organization is pressing me to
un-install it.

TIA
Raquel.

This means that you're using the fully-licensed version of the software
(as opposed to Try-and-Buy).

DB2 Personal Developer's Edition is free (for eval/development/testing),
which is probably why you have the full license from your download instead
of a Try&Buy license.

I don't know exactly what you have, but you should reassure your company
that DB2 will not work without a valid license once the free trial period is
over, unless the software is free of charge and no license is required. For
example, all DB2 clients are free of charge and do not require a license.

Just in case, I would take frequent offline backups in case the free trial
period does expire.

Very much correct. Note that if you didn't pay for PE and it's fully
licensed, you should recheck your license to see what you can use it
for. As was mentioned, Personal Developer's Edition is free, but it
has a restricted license.

Hi All! I know there has been a post about Python licencing but I have different questions. I tried to Google for "Python Licence" and "Python Licencing" but I could not find the answer.

I have a windows application that I'd like to sell eventually. What's the simplest way to provide a secure licensing mechanism ? I'd prefer to have a licence key that can't simply be distributed across the pirate community (eg. astalavista) that will then work on any pc, so I was thinking of somehow tying it to the machine (some unique ID like the NIC number, but I realise some computers without a network card don't have one!). I'd need to...

we have some Python code we're planning to GPL. However, bits of it were cut&pasted from some wxPython-licenced code to use as a starting point for implementation. It is possible that some fragments of this code remains unchanged at the end. How should we refer to this in terms of copyright statements and bundled Licence files? Is there, say, a standard wording to be appended to the GPL header in each source file? Does the original...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
