.net data provider (IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries) - license needed
to

We are currently testing connectivity between a test application written in
visual studio using c# and our iseries using the .net data provider supplied
with Client Access V5R3.<br />
We will eventually need to get this working on our main server so I need to know
do we need a license to use this dll and if so can someone point me in the right
direction to get the information needed?<br />
Also is it possible just to distribute the dll with the application or will we
also need to install client access on the server?<br />
<br />

Will you be redistributing to other companies?

I don't think there are any issues here - middleware portions of Client Access 
are not licensed.  There's nothing that needs to be installed on the server.

You can actually install your clients from each server - map a network drive to

the /QIBM/ProdData/ folder and you can find an install image.
