db2icrt is not of the right version

Hi Folks and fellow IBMers

I received a toolbox CD from IBM with DB2 version 8.1 when i installed
it on linux and was trying ton create a instance it always failed
saying that the instance update failed as the db2iupdt and db2icrt are
not of the right version.

Can i download Db2version 8.1 enterprise edition for learning
purpose..I am a oracle DBA (or whatever Cyber coolie..)trying to learn
DB2 can IBMers help please

I have an idea of getting the latest fixpack and applying it to the
8.1 version but here i am facing two problems

a)I am unable to download the fix pack from the website does it
require some sort of support contract ?
b)will applying the fix pack solve my problem of wrong version of
db2iupdt and db2icrt...

regards

Yes the trial license is good for 90 days.

Anyone can download a fixpack. To download the base trial code, you need to
register (free). Here is a link to the fixpacks:

I don't know.

Post the exact command you used and error msg you received when you
tried to do db2icrt. You should not have needed to do a db2iupdt if you
didn't install any fixpacks.

Or ... just go to
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp...sp?rs=db2udbdl

and request a fresh copy.
