    Hi,
    I have some questions on Db2 Community Edition license and wants to clarify. Please help.
    1. May I create multiple Db2 instances in a single VM when using community edition?
    2. May I create more than one database in a Db2 instance and each database with 100GB storage?
    3. May I have more than one VM that is running Db2 Community Edition in an organization?
    Thanks and Regards.

    Hi Kit,

    I believe the answer is "Yes" to all 3 of your questions.

    Great question! The license text confirms it for #2 at least.
