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.
