Product Activation

A Rendezvous daemon must be activated before it will start. Activation is performed by TIBCO Activation Service software which can be obtained from the TIBCO Software download site. Please see the TIBCO License Activation Service documentation for complete details on activating TIBCO products.

A Rendezvous daemon is configured to connect to a TIBCO Activation Service with a URL in the form of https://url[?fp=activation service fingerprint]. A fingerprint of the Activation Service can be included in the URL for peer verification. The URL can be supplied to the Rendezvous daemon through the -license command-line parameter or the environment variable TIBRV_LICENSE. If the URL is not supplied in the command-line or environment, the Rendezvous daemon will search its environment PATH for a license file named tibrvlic.bin and, failing that, will attempt to contact an Activation Service at https://tib-activate:7070.

Note: Production environments must use a TIBCO Activation Service for TIBCO product activation. Using a license file to activate a Rendezvous daemon is only supported for development environments. The URL format for a license file is file://pathname.
