TIBCO Activation Modes

TIBCO iProcess Engine requires Activation, with a valid license, before starting the service. Activation setup can be performed post-installation in the following two ways :

  • TIBCO Activation Service
  • In-Product Activation(with License File)

TIBCO Activation Service: TIBCO iProcess Engine is configured to fetch license information dynamically by connecting to your TIBCO Activation Service instance through a URL. The URL is set using the following swadm command:

swadm ACTIVATION_SERVICE_URL { <URL> | VIEW | DELETE }

Example, swadm ACTIVATION_SERVICE_URL https://hostname:7070/?fp=activation_service_fingerprint

In-Product Activation(with License File): TIBCO iProcess Engine is configured to fetch the license information by reading the contents of the license file. The standalone license file is imported into iProcess Engine using the following swadm command.

swadm LICENSE_IMPORT <License File Path>

Example, swadm LICENSE_IMPORT C:\tiblicense\IPROCESS_MACADDR_license.bin
Note: If the URL for your TIBCO Activation Service instance is set, then the TIBCO iProcess Engine fetches the license connecting to that URL, otherwise checks if a license file is imported into the system.
Note: The Node cluster installation is not supported in File mode.
