Can you check for a DB2 license in C#?

Question

I've written a WPF app in C# (4.5) and it connects to a DB2 server. I want to know if there's a way to check the local machine for a valid DB2 license and display a warning if it's not found.

Answer 1

There is not an api to access the license manager in DB2. However, you have two options:

• Execute the db2licm and parse the output.
• Analyse the nodelock file in the license directory where db2 is installed (/opt/ibm/db2/V10.5/license/nodelock)

Answer 2

You have to run the db2licm command to check the DB2 license.
