    Hi Jan!

    I've just found this one on db2 with google.

    I don't know any common place for all announcements...

    Hi 

    I have prepared the HADR setup with DB2 12.1 Community Edition, and while starting standby instance was getting below issue
    SQL8029N A valid license key cannot be found for the requested functionality.
    Reference numbers: "11"

    bash-5.2$ db2licm -l
    Product name:                     "DB2 Community Edition"
    License type:                     "Community"
    Expiry date:                      "Permanent"
    Product identifier:               "db2dec"
    Version information:              "12.1"
    Max amount of memory (GB):        "8"
    Max number of cores:              "4"
    Enforcement policy:               "Hard Stop"
    Features:
    IBM DB2 Performance Management Offering:              "Not licensed"

    After googling came to know that HADR setup can be prepared with Advanced Enterprise Server Edition db2 server, however from this link Downloading IBM Db2 Version 12.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows there is below installer name, i guess this will not work for HADR, so can you share me the exact installer link or part number or share the steps for the A valid license key

    IBM Db2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition - PVU Option - Activation for Linux, UNIX and Windows

    Hi Srinivas!

    Please refer to IBM Db2 V12.1 documentation:


    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/12.1?topic=editions-functionality-in-db2-product


    For Db2 Standard Edition and Db2 Advanced Edition you buy appropriate license and download license from Passport Advantage.

    Hi Srinivas,

    It may depend on your db2 build level.
    My Community edition downloaded using your link with exactly the same `db2licm -l` output does allow HADR.

    $ db2level
    DB21085I  This instance or install (instance name, where applicable:

    "db2inst1") uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL12010" with level 
    identifier "02010110".
    Informational tokens are "DB2 v12.1.0.0", "special_50594", 
    "DYN2411071022AMD64_50594", and Fix Pack "0".
    Product is installed at "/opt/ibm/db2/V12.1".


    What's your output of `db2level`?

    What exactly are you trying to do?
    Are you evaluating the product for your company or you just want to setup sample database, get the feel for DB2 12.1 and play around?

    Either way, best will be to download the latest CSB from here : Db2 v12.1.0 Published Cumulative Special Build Downloads

    Then if you install that you will get DB2 Advanced Edition for free trial for 90 days. There is no limitation to what you can do in those 90 days. Post that the trial expires and you need to install the license by downloading from Passport Advantage.

    Let me know if you have further questions. Good luck!

    Regards,
