titlePlease note

Starting with version 3.0 the upgrade from DB2 to version 10.5 FP2 FP5 is mandatory.
Please download first this DB2 version from the IBM website and then perform the upgrade. For instructions, please see the following document: DB2 upgrade from version 9.7.4 or higher to 10.5.

 
From version 2.9 a new license file is recommended.
Continued use of the old license file is also possible. In this case, new features will appear as 'Missing' in the license dialog and are thus deactivated. Otherwise the function of BVQ is not affected.
