Product Editions

TIBCO FTL and related products are now available in a community edition and an enterprise edition.

TIBCO FTL - Community Edition is ideal for getting started with FTL, for implementing application projects (including proof of concept efforts), for testing, and for deploying applications in a production environment. Although the community license limits the number of production processes, you can easily upgrade to the enterprise edition as your use of TIBCO FTL expands.

The community edition is available free of charge. It is a full installation of the TIBCO FTL product, with the following limitations and exclusions:
  • Users may run up to 100 client processes in a production environment, per corporate entity.
  • Users do not have access to TIBCO Support, but you can use TIBCO Community as a resource (https://community.tibco.com/products/tibco-ftl).
  • Excludes transport bridges.
  • Excludes the RDMA transport protocol.
  • Excludes disaster recovery features.
  • Excludes customizable dashboards and monitoring adapter.

TIBCO FTL - Enterprise Edition is ideal for all application development projects, and for deploying and managing applications in an enterprise production environment. It includes all features presented in this documentation set, as well as access to TIBCO Support. Choose the enterprise edition for production deployments with more than 100 clients, for distributed deployments using transport bridges, for scenarios that require disaster recovery, and for enterprise monitoring using customizable status dashboards.

The enterprise editions of TIBCO eFTL™ and TIBCO ActiveSpaces® use the enterprise edition of TIBCO FTL and include a license for it. The community editions of those related products are compatible with both the enterprise and community editions of TIBCO FTL.
