LIC1416N The license could not be added to the nodelock file automatically. The return code is "-110".
Cause

Create a backup copy of the DB2 nodelock file and then create a new one from scratch maintaining the same operating system permissions and ownership as the original file.
- Rename the <db2 installation directory>/license/nodelock file to nodelock.bak
... where <db2 installation directory> is the location where DB2 was installed (eg, /opt/IBM/db2/v9.7) - Create a new nodelock file in this directory by issuing the command: touch nodelock
- Using root make sure the permissions and ownership of the new nodelock file match the permissions and ownership of the original file using chmod and chown.
- Try installing the license again by issuing the db2licm -a command again.
