I have been playing with IDS 10.00.TC3ET on Windows XP SP2. Reading the manual at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ids9help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mig.doc/mig66.htm in the new migration guide I find "New environment variables". IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING A variable that supports time-limited license so I run F:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Informix>onstat - Your evaluation license will expire on 2006-02-02 00:00:00 shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'ol_davidw5' then I run set IFX_NO_TIMELIMIT_WARNING=1 and... F:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Informix>onstat - shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'ol_davidw5' no warning any more.. but does is it still time limited? Or is this a way around the time limit?

The software is still time-limited. Art S. Kagel
