  • 1.  DB2 Community Edition not on DB2 Setup Launchpad

    Posted Mon January 06, 2020 03:45 PM

    I'm trying to install DB2 Community Edition but I'm not seeing it from the launchpad.  The previous install I tried ( apparently ) included a trial license which - unfortunate timing - expired Jan 2.  

    I'm having a devil of a time trying to find, install, and apply the correct license to create and use a couple of databases for a Cognos implementation.   

    Sorry if this is a case of my missing something obvious, but I'd appreciate an assist ....

    Thx

    Hi Joachim and thank you for the reply. 

    I did download the .exe from there, but when running the install there is no "community" edition to choose from the launchpad ( install screen ).     

    I thought I'd done this last time around but .... not.    I'm trying to get it right this time around.

    Hi,
    what do you expect, when you say there is no community edition?
    What did happen when you started the exe file ?


    At the end you install a server edition with a license file. It can also be Db2 developer edition.
    I appended a screenshot from my installation of V11 here, which shows db2licm output.

    Thank you Joachim,

    I was able to install and confirm the license.   I'm not sure where exactly I went off the rails previously but so far so good!


    I appreciate the assist.
