Domino 7 News - DB2 Licensing
Tags :Domino 7
Many people are asking about the licensing
issues around Domino 7 and DB2. What will you get for free? What
will you have to pay for? What can I do with existing DB2 installations?
Here is a quote from the public forum for Domino 7
One of the new, and significant
features in Domino 7.0 is allowing DB2 to be a data repository for Domino
applications. To ensure that customers can benefit from this feature,
IBM plans to provide Domino 7 customers a limited entitlement to DB2 Universal
Database. Although the exact terms and conditions of this limited
entitlement are still being worked out, you can expect to see the following
limitations.
- Any access of Domino data stored in DB2 UDB via third party, other than backup/restore, is only allowed if DB2 UDB Workgroup or Enterprise edition is licensed separately.
- Any use of the DB2 UDB data store for non Domino data also requires a DB2 UDB Workgroup or Enterprise edition license, separately purchased.
So it looks like you might get a free runtime license you can back up, but not pull reports from without a license?
