TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming is an assembly of TIBCO software technologies in a single licensable collection. The License Considerations for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming tab on this page describes the license restrictions for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming.

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming includes:

TIBCO StreamBase® Server

The StreamBase server is a set of runtime elements used for deploying a streaming data analysis application based on the TIBCO StreamBase EventFlow™ language. You can run a StreamBase EventFlow™ server locally during development, or prepare an application for external QA and production deployment. A StreamBase analysis application can be deployed in many configurations, from a single node up to multiple nodes in multiple geographic locations with redundant and failover processing.

TIBCO LiveView™ Server

The LiveView server is a StreamBase application that configures an incoming streaming data into published tables. LiveView clients then connect to the server, issue a LiveQL query against a table, and present the query results in a variety of tabular or graphical visualizations.

The StreamBase server instance that hosts the LiveView server can be optionally configured to manage the incoming data sources, transform the incoming data, preprocess it, or publish data to multiple LiveView data tables.

TIBCO StreamBase® Studio

StreamBase Studio, based on the Eclipse platform, is the development environment for StreamBase EventFlow and LiveView applications. You can use Studio to perform the following tasks:

• Develop EventFlow applications with a graphical, drag-and-drop interface.
• Develop LiveView applications with a forms-based editor and a graphical project viewer.
• Develop configuration files that define the parameters of a deployable application.
• Develop custom code in Java and other languages to extend EventFlow capabilities.
• Run EventFlow and LiveView applications on your development Mac or PC.
• Debug EventFlow applications with a step-through graphical debugger.

TIBCO LiveView™ Web, Standard Edition

LiveView Web is a client development package that lets you create rich, browser-based visualizations of LiveView server data. The Standard Edition license supports production deployment with TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license only .

TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming Adapters

Adapters are programs that convert incoming data to the standard StreamBase format, or outgoing data from the StreamBase format to another format. Adapters can also be used to initiate a connection to, or monitor, an external data source.

A set of standard, premium, and FIX Adapters is packaged with TIBCO Enterprise Streaming. All the Adapters are included in your TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license.

APIs for Developing StreamBase Clients and Extensions

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming includes documented APIs and support files for developing:

• Custom StreamBase client applications in Java and .NET.
• Custom StreamBase monitor applications in Java and .NET.
• Custom StreamBase extensions such as functions, operators, or adapters in Java.

APIs for Developing LiveView Clients

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming includes documented APIs and support files for developing:

• Custom LiveView client applications in Java and .NET, or with REST API queries.
• Custom LiveView server presentation layers with JavaScript.

APIs for Node Status and Administration

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming includes documented APIs and support files for the following:

• REST API queries for StreamBase Runtime node health checks.
• REST API queries for StreamBase Runtime node administration.

Data Streams for Cloud

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming includes a new feature called Data Streams for Cloud, a separately installable web service that allows you to create LiveView Tables (referred to as Data Streams) in private, public, or hybrid cloud environments from your web browser. Data Streams are managed windows of event data from a streaming data source backed by LiveView, that directly becomes available for analysis in TIBCO, or other clients using new REST interfaces.

TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming License

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming is a license package available starting in June 2025. The components of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming package are described in What is TIBCO Enterprise Streaming? tab on this page.

Your TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license includes the right to run either TIBCO StreamBase® or TIBCO LiveView™ servers, or both, either singly or in multiples configured for data redundancy and/or high availability.

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming also includes the right to use the following features:

• TIBCO StreamBase® Add-in for Microsoft Excel
• TIBCO LiveView™ Web, Standard Edition, as described below.

Spotfire® Enterprise Data Streams License

Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams is a license package available as an add-on for Spotfire®. The Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams package includes the same components as TIBCO Enterprise Streaming, and includes TIBCO Enterprise Streaming branding. Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams entitles customers to deploy TIBCO Enterprise Streaming components for the sole purpose of serving live data to Spotfire® clients. Sending data to any client other than Spotfire® requires the purchase of a separate license to TIBCO Enterprise Streaming.

TIBCO StreamBase® License

Your existing TIBCO StreamBase license is not automatically upgraded to a TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license. Your rights under your existing TIBCO StreamBase license continue unchanged for the term of that license.

Your TIBCO StreamBase license grants you the rights to deploy a StreamBase application on the number of TIBCO StreamBase Server instances described in the terms of your license.

TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters, Enterprise Streaming Premium Adapters and Standard Adapters licenses are included

Adapters are programs that convert data to and from the StreamBase tuple protocol. TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Adapters fall into three categories:

• Standard Adapters,
• Enterprise Streaming Premium Adapters, and
• Enterprise Streaming FIX Adapters

They are installed and licensed as part of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams installation packages and licenses. The formal definition of which Adapters fall into the Standard, Premium, and FIX categories is described in Enterprise Streaming Adapter Restrictions tab on this page.

You are authorized to use the Adapters as part of your license to use TIBCO Enterprise Streaming according to the terms of your End User License Agreement.

Both the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams licenses include all three categories of adapters. Usage of any TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapter requires a TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine license.

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If a TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine license is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use the Engine and the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters.

The unit of measure for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters and TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming Premium Adapters is a Connector.

Non-StreamBase Support Files Licensed Separately

Certain Streaming Adapters require support files from other TIBCO product lines or other vendors. These files generally take the form of one or more JAR files. TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams incorporate a build process that permits the end user to utilize an instance of the Apache Maven program to automatically download third-party software libraries for certain TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Adapters from public Maven repositories during the build time for such TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Adapter.

In addition, some Adapter-required support files must be manually downloaded from their vendor's website and then incorporated into your StreamBase development environment, as described in Using External JAR Files.

JAR files and other support files required to enable a Streaming adapter are licensed by their vendors and are not licensed as part of your StreamBase or Live Datamart license. This applies equally to support files from TIBCO products other than TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams, as well as to products from other vendors. Make sure you have a license to use any required support files.

Some support files, such as the JAR files that implement JDBC access to a vendor's database, are generally provided without charge, but there can be a download license agreement at the vendor's site. Other support JAR files are made available only to licensees of the product in question.

Third-party Software Licensing Note

Third-Party Software

• When you obtain third-party software or services, it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand the license terms associated with such third-party software or services and comply with such terms.

TIBCO LiveView™ Web Standard Edition Included

TIBCO LiveView Web Standard Edition is licensed to you for use only in connection with your licensed version of TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and can be used for Production purposes.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in TIBCO’s End User License Agreement, the foregoing license is effective for a term concurrent with the license term for your licensed version of TIBCO Enterprise Streaming.

• For Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams

TIBCO LiveView Web Standard Edition is licensed to you for use only in connection with your licensed version of Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams and for Production use for the sole purpose of configuring server-side Alerts for your LiveView server instance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Spotfire’s End User License Agreement, the foregoing license is effective for a term concurrent with the license term for your licensed version of Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams.

Highcharts License Notes

Cloud Software Group Inc. ("Cloud SG") provides a JavaScript sample as part of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming product distributions (“Sample”). The Sample's purpose is to illustrate the use of the TIBCO LiveView JavaScript Client API to allow TIBCO LiveView results to be displayed on a web page or as part of a web application.

One feature of the Sample is a charting application that makes use of the Highcharts.js JavaScript library (“Library”), as published by Highsoft AS. Licensees of TIBCO Streaming and Spotfire Cloud™ Data Streams may use the Library in connection with their instances of TIBCO LiveView servers solely on the condition that they comply with the following limitations:

1. Customers of TIBCO Enterprise Streaming are free to open, read, and modify the Sample, including the Library.
2. Customers of TIBCO Enterprise Streaming may use the Library in development of any web page or web application as long as such web page or web application connects to Customer’s instance of a TIBCO LiveView server to obtain its live data. Customer may not use the Library to develop web pages or web applications that do not connect to Customer’s instance of TIBCO LiveView.

Note

Customer understands that neither TIBCO nor Highsoft AS have any obligation to provide support regarding the web pages, web applications, or other functionality created by Customer using the Library.

Click here for the list of adapters available to use with StreamBase or LiveView. 

Adapters are programs that convert data to and from the StreamBase tuple protocol. You can use adapters to: 

• Convert data from real-time sources such as financial market data feeds or an IoT device.
• Convert data from an external resource such as a CSV file or database table. 
• Convert processed StreamBase tuples into the format used by an external resource, such as an XML file. 

Current TIBCO Enterprise Streaming adapters are embedded, which means they run in the same TIBCO Streaming server process that hosts and processes your EventFlow or LiveView fragment. Embedded adapters start and stop automatically with the node that hosts your fragment. 

TIBCO Enterprise Streaming adapters are considered either Standard, Enterprise Streaming Premium adapters or Enterprise Streaming - FIX adapters. All Adapters are licensed as part of your TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license. To use the Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters, licensing of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine is required. This subject is discussed on the License Considerations for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming tab on this page. 

If you need functionality not provided by an existing TIBCO Enterprise Streaming adapter, you can implement your own custom adapter using the StreamBase Java Client library. For more information, see Creating Custom Java Embedded Adapters.
