Unable to have a key for trial version

[Fred BROUARD - SQLpro]

Hi there,

I have get a book wich have a free trial version of IBM DB2 (7.2) wich I
have installed on my PC.

The problem is that I cannot run it, because it seems to have no licence.

When I start the program to get the licence with my web connexion open
and after having fill all the required fields, this take a very long
time with a message in a box that specify this will take few time.
Of course nothing happen except my telephon charges grows...

After five attempt, la last one about 35 minutes, I am bore of this
stupid thinks thant consist to have a produce and not be able to run it !

I must say that I work under Microsoft SQL Server, and this stupid thing
let me think that is easyer to work with $$$crosoft than with IBM...

Is there anyway to obtain the right to get into IBL DB2 without wainting
an eternity ???

Thanks in advance !

You can download a free trial version of DB2 version 8 from the IBM website.
It is good for 90 days and then you need a license. I believe that if you
are installing on Windows, the Fixpak 4 code is all inclusive (version 8
base code not required to be installed first).

To install DB2 you must create a Windows userid of 8 characters or less,
give that id Windows administrator authority, and then be logged on with
that id when you install DB2.

Mark, I done all this, but I want to have the 7.1 version first to test it.

I have well created the user and the password in the installation. It is
just the recording licence for trial version wich I can't obtain !

The lack of license *is* the trial version. However, Version 7.1 is so
old that the try&buy is likely timed out to begin with. IBM doesn't
want you trying 7.1 when 8.1 is out and available. Version 7 won't be
available for sale much longer (if it is available now - I'm not sure).
There's little point in trying it - you should be trying v8 as Mark A
pointed out. And that's also why you can't get v7 trial to work - it
wants you to be trying v8, too.

DB2 has permitted Windows userIDs up to 20 characters long since v7.

Well, I have had IBM services and they give me a licence to try it. This
is unusual but I need to try the 7.2 version because my customer get it
on a machine and want to grow on v 8. I have also a v 8 trial wich I
will install later.

So the solution is to tests in two versions many problems before doing
the transfert.

THank to all of you.
