Db2

When I attempted to restore a DB2 9.7 backup image to DB2 v11.5 Community Edition, I encountered an error.
"SQL2514N The RESTORE was not successful. The backup used to restore the database contained a database with a release number that is not compatible with the installed version of the database manager."

Hi,

You should be able to download DB2 v10.5 (or v11.1) from the IBM Fix Central and install it with the 90-day trial licence (as there is no Community Edition for those older versions). That should give you more than enough time for the upgrade to v11.5.

Hope that works for you.

My 2 cents...
On the outside chance that you migrated from Db2 v8 to v9, you really should rebuild the database from scratch because the tablespace structures changed dramatically.

Otherwise, I would suggest upgrading to v10.5, then v11.5. I've don't the database rebuild from scratch (v9.7 to v10.5 and using data replication between servers) and it can be a real pain if you don't have a simple database setup.
