Hi Raveen,

We strongly agree!

That's why 2-user development and testing licenses of all the
Connectivity Kits have been included in the Studio for quite some time
(I think since 8.x). We include all of the CKs (the complete list you
mentioned).

Best regards,

-SWM-

DAW,

I feel DAW should include all the DB-Connectivity Kits for Free as part
of
the Studio installation package. Instead of getting the developers to
pay
for it, get the end-users to pay for it. How else are developers going
to
try the new connectivity kits?

Connectivity Kits in Mention:
1. MS-SQL
2. IBM DB2
3. Pervasive PSQL
4. ODBC Connectivity Kit

We are currently experimenting to use a Client/Server database - and we
are
planning to DB2 as we run Windows and Linux apps sharing the same
database
files, and DB2 is the only database supported on all 3 platforms of
dataaccess (VDF, Web & Linux)

Stephen,

The DB2-CK is not included with Studio.

I checked my registration and I found the following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DB2 Conectivity Kit 4.0.0.35 IBM DB2 4.0 Evaluation License

Pervasive Conectivity Kit 2.0.0.236 Visual DataFlex 10 - Development Use
Only
MSSQL Conectivity Kit 2.2.0.22 Visual DataFlex 10 - Development Use
Only
ODBC Conectivity Kit 2.2.0.22 Visual DataFlex 10 - Development Use
Only
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, the DB2 Conectivity Kit is only an evaluation license.

How do I get a "Development Use Only License" for DB2-CK4?
