Hi ,

I am trying to install TDP for sql although it installed properly without any error but when I am launching the snap- in it is throwing an error of license I have downloaded this from FTP site not from Passport Advantage. looking for your help on this attaching the snapshot for your reference.

The downloads from the FTP site does not contain License. You have to download from Passport Advatage.

The FTP downloads are good for updating an installation, but for initial installs, Espen is correct. Use Passport Advantage, as those downloads include the license files. I personally use Passport for all downloads and updates except for minor patches/fixes that are only available via FTP.

Hi David/Espen,

Thanks for the response, actually right now i don't have the valid licence for tdp it is on early stage of disucussion and purchase . But before that I have to test all the option and explore. I am checking the option to install this as a evaluation and use it for clear understanding.

David/Espen,

According to you it means we can't use TDP evaluation version for testing also. Pls correct me if I am wrong.

That sounds like a safe assumption to me. I'm not familiar with trials or evaluations as we have the Extended Suite licensed, though. Have you tried talking with an IBM representative or a VAR to see if it's possible to obtain a temporary license for testing?
