Hi hi everyone.
We have upgraded our DB2 LUW 8.2.1 which was directly installed from our
DB2 CD's to DB2 LUW 8.2.6 (FP13). (system: HP DL385 (AMD64), single
socket, dual core. 8GB memory. SLES 10. NetApp FAS250 storage array).
This went quite well, but it rendered our permanent (legal) DB2 license
invalid, and I can see of no way to get our environment up and running
with FP13 installed.
Is there someone who is familiar with the problem and someone who knows
of any solutions?
Additional info comming up:
First, our DB2WSUE.LIC has been deemed valid by IBM support.

Now... the above is kinda weird...
Why do I see a complaint about a missing license on "DB2 Enterprise
Server Edition?"
Correct me if I'm wrong.. But DB2 FP13 for linux, there's only one
version for all product versions, is there not? The license determines
the way the package behaves? This is what I've been told from IBM support.
And another question (to perhaps trace it back to IBM administration);
Does DB2 check it's license against a server at IBM? a 'phone home'?
I heard rumours about this being in DB2-9.
Any help is highly appreciated.
