    You might talk to your dba's about running the db2connectactivate command.

    This is really outside my expertise (I work on the z/OS side of the question), but there are several references to having an incorrect version of the license file.  Such as

    ​If you are trying to connect to Db2 z/OS on the mainframe, you are using the wrong license. You need to use db2consv_zs.lic.

    Documentation on the different license files can be found here:

    hi 

    the 3.1.200  .Net core drivers are db2connect v11.5 , so a license for v11.5 is needed. 
    This can be applied by adding the license file in the project code, or by install the license on Db2 Z/os using db2connectactivate
