Use the instructions in this section to install a DB2 client.
A DB2 Client Application Enabler is installed with any DB2 Version 5 product. If a DB2 Version 5 product is already installed, there is no need to install a DB2 Client Application Enabler. To configure your client to access remote servers, see Chapter 33. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Client Configuration Assistant, or for UNIX users, see Chapter 34. Configuring Client-to-Server Communications Using the Command Line Processor.
Clients on a LAN that will connect to a DB2 Connect or DB2 Universal Database server must have the DB2 Client Application Enabler or the DB2 Software Developer's Kit installed. (The DB2 Software Developer's Kit must be ordered separately from DB2 Connect.)
DB2 Client Application Enablers and DB2 Software Developer's Kits are available for the following: AIX, DOS, HP-UX, Macintosh, OS/2, SCO UnixWare 7, SCO OpenServer, Silicon Graphics IRIX, SINIX, Solaris, Windows 3.x, and Windows 32-bit operating systems.
You may install DB2 Client Application Enablers on any number of
workstations; licensing restrictions are controlled at the server.
