Db2 Product Changes
In order to accommodate specific PVU licensing rules (where DB2 Enterprise Server is primary and DB2 for Workgroup is supplementary) or VPC rules where the ratios are not the same for different editions, it has been decided to have the various DB2 editions managed under different products. A similar change was implemented in April 2022 with WebSphere Application Server Application Server Network Deployment
The changes are listed below. The licenses that link to these applications will need to be checked. The licenses after ARL import will still link to the same applications but will need to be checked for upgrade and downgrade rights.
The Db2 product change for below four Editions will be taken care with all the versions available in ARL.
