Connecting to a LUW database with Toad for DB2 is proper. However, when trying to connect to a z/OS database with Toad for DB2 returns:
Database Error
DB2 Database Error
ERROR [42968] [IBM] SQL1598N An attempt to connect to the database server failed because of a licensing problem. SQLSTATE=42968
Please contact the Database Administrator (DBA) that is managing the database(s) you are trying to connect to for further assistance on this issue.
This is a licensing issue with the IBM DB2 Client. The DBA will need to enable the server side DB2 licensing logic to enable DB2 connections without the need for any client side DB2 connect licenses.
Alternatively, a DB2 client license file may also be applied on the client side. An example command to run in a Windows Administrator Command Prompt window is shown below:
<db2_client_install_path>\bin\db2licm -a <db2_license_file_name> (i.e. db2conee.lic, db2ese.lic, etc.)
