Product Licensing

To license Spotlight on IBM DB2 LUW, you need a license key and the site message.

• If you purchase Spotlight from a Quest web site and have downloaded the product, you should receive an email with the license key and the site message shortly after the download has completed.
• If Spotlight was delivered in a package, the license key and site message are included with that package.

If you do not get a license key, contact your sales representative.
