i need your help ,thank you!

hi,

The licencing policy with db2 is per processor based, so now what has happened is that you have the license for 1 processor where as your box has 4 processors, hence you are getting this error.

I was reading on the db2licm command and this is what i suggest from the db2 command execute the below command.

db2licm -l

This should give you the DB2 Product password and the number of processors entitled.

Please provide us this information so that we can advise further.

Regards

Nitin.
