Two special offerings are available for application developers.

• The DB2 Universal Developer's Edition (UDE), for Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms, comes with all server editions, with the exception of the database partitioning feature and optional extenders. In addition, all the DB2 clients are also provided.

Both editions come at a reduced price, and are restricted to the development, evaluation, demonstration, and testing of application programs.
