So it seems, DB2 9.5 ESE 32 bits can’t be licensed on a Linux 32 bits server

So if you want to use DB2 9.5 ESE 32 bits for Linux in production you will have
to switch to the 64 bits version. That or go with one of the lower version
of the DB2 9.5 family like Workgroup Edition or Personal Edition.

  1. Only test and development are supported in DB2 Enterprise Server Edition and DB2 Text Search for Linux on x86-32 hardware.

Are there special licenses for test and dev environments? Because
either what the purpose is of your environment with a trial license
it will stop working when the end date kicks in.
