SI4 DB2 License issue

[Former Member]

Hello,

I ordered the CD "SAP NetWeaver Preview on Linux and IBM DB2" last month. Today I have installed SUSE 9.1 and the the preview CD to get a bit familar with DB2 and SAP ABAP/Java dual stack.

But the SAP system SI4 is not able to start. After some investigation (I have not used DB2 before) I found the reason:

si4host:db2si4> db2licm -l

Product Name = "DB2 enterprise Server Edition"

Product Identifier = "DB2ESE"

Version Information = "8.2"

expired Date=Expired

There ist no valid license for the database.

But I see no possibility to apply for an evaluation license key system SI4 on web page http://www.sap.com/minisap

How can I get an evaluation license key for the SAP system SI4 on Linux DB2?

Best regards

Thomas

The above link provides a Linux FAQ.

In the linux FAQ , there is an email address where you can send out an email and ask for clarification.
