The default copy name of the Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and .NET on Windows is:

IBMDBCL1

The default copy name of the Data Server Client or Data Server Runtime Client on Windows is:

DB2COPY1

When installing a Data Server Client on a machine that already has a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (LUW) Version 8 copy installed, users will be presented with the option to install a new copy or to migrate the DB2 Version 8 copy. Installing a new copy preserves the DB2 Version 8 copy and installs an additional DB2 Version 9 copy. Choosing to migrate will copy the DB2 Version 8 client instance settings to the DB2 Version 9 copy, then remove the DB2 8 copy.

If a machine already has a DB2 Version 8 copy installed, the Version 9 copies cannot be set to default.

When installing a Data Server Runtime Client, the installation program always installs a new copy.
