IDS Edition and snfile

We had installed by our software provider Informix IDS 11.50.FC6WE. I am trying to figure out what edition we have installed and also to find out where the license is located. I've read that before in $INFORMIXDIR/etc there was a .snfile but I cannot find anything there Please help! Thank you very much, Genti

The onstat utility shows the IDS version. Use onstat - from the command line. The .snfile is used by historical tools.

Hello Gentian, Login as informix and then run "cat $INFORMIXDIR/etc/.snfile". In the old days, we installed each piece manually and in the order of TEN (Tools, Engine, Network). Nowadays I'd check with IBM Informix Support to make sure. Anyway, if your .snfile is gone, you will not know the order but you can check the versions by running these commands: c4gl -V i4gl -V onstat -V check_version csdk # or "ifx_getversion clientsdk" ifx_getversion esql When I run these commands I get the versions 7.50.FC1X3, 7.50.FC1X3, 11.50.FC4, 3.50.FC4 and 3.50.FC4. These are all valid. But, in your case, call IBM Informix Support to make sure. To find the licenses, run "cd $INFORMIXDIR; ls -l | grep license". You will see several license subdirectories. -LS
