Activation

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5 requires activation via a license in order to start. Licenses can be generated in the TIBCO Software Downloads site.

TIBCO products are activated by TIBCO® Activation Service software, also available in the TIBCO Software Downloads site. You must download and install TIBCO Activation Service software to activate ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 5 via a license. For complete details on how to activate TIBCO products, consult the TIBCO Activation Service documentation at http://docs.tibco.com.

ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 can be configured with the URL to your TIBCO Activation Service instance either during installation or as a post install step. Consult the TIBCO Activation Service product documentation for details on obtaining the URL to an instance.

  1. Provide the URL to your TIBCO Activation Service instance during the installation of ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 as indicated in the following screenshot.

  2. If you do not provide any URL in step 1, you must provide the URL to your TIBCO Activation Service instance as a post install step in the bwengine.tra file as follows:

    java.property.license.license_source=<<TIBCO Activation Service instance URL>>

Note: You can also activate ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 with a license deployed to the file system where you run ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 applications. This approach to activation is only supported for development environments. Production environments must exclusively use TIBCO Activation Service to activate TIBCO products.
Important: TIBCO recommends adding at least one of the license server URL or license directory path in the installation wizard. Otherwise, you must add the corresponding license details in the bwengine.tra file and your respective already deployed application's application.tra file.
