License Considerations

TIBCO^® Streaming is a license package available starting in November 2018. The components of the TIBCO Streaming package are described in What is TIBCO Streaming?

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

TIBCO Spotfire^® Data Streams is a license package available starting in November 2018 as an add-on for TIBCO Spotfire^® licensees. The components of the TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams package are described in What is TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams?

The TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams package includes most of the same components as TIBCO Streaming, and may include TIBCO Streaming branding. The TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams license provides a restricted subset of rights, as follows:

Extended features not covered by your TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams license require the purchase of a separate license to TIBCO Streaming.

Your existing TIBCO StreamBase^® license is not automatically upgraded to a TIBCO Streaming license. Your rights under your existing TIBCO StreamBase license continue unchanged for the term of that license. Your download package for updated versions may have TIBCO Streaming branding.

If you have licensed only TIBCO StreamBase^®, your installation includes both TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO^® Live Datamart in the same installation package. A single installation procedure installs both products into the same directory structure on the target machine.

However, while TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO Live Datamart are installed together, they are not licensed together. The two products are licensed separately according to the terms of the End User License Agreement for each product:

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If TIBCO Live Datamart is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use it.

Note that many customers acquire licenses for both TIBCO StreamBase^® and TIBCO^® Live Datamart.

Your existing TIBCO^® Live Datamart license is not automatically upgraded to a TIBCO Streaming license. Your rights under your existing TIBCO Live Datamart license continue unchanged for the term of that license. Your download package for updated versions may have TIBCO Streaming branding.

If you have licensed only TIBCO^® Live Datamart, your installation includes both TIBCO Live Datamart and TIBCO StreamBase^® in the same installation package. A single installation procedure installs both products into the same directory structure on the target machine.

TIBCO Live Datamart is based on TIBCO StreamBase and requires the included TIBCO StreamBase installation in order to run. The included TIBCO StreamBase installation is provided (1) for use by your licensed TIBCO Live Datamart server, and (2) for the limited purpose of using TIBCO StreamBase applications to push data into your licensed Live Datamart server. If you have licensed only TIBCO Live Datamart, the included TIBCO StreamBase installation is explicitly not licensed for use as an independent, standalone StreamBase server.

Thus, although the two products are installed together, and although TIBCO Live Datamart is dependent on TIBCO StreamBase, the two products are licensed independently, according to the terms of the End User License Agreement for each product:

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If TIBCO StreamBase is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use it.

Note that many customers acquire licenses for both TIBCO StreamBase^® and TIBCO^® Live Datamart.

Adapters are programs that convert data to and from the StreamBase tuple protocol. TIBCO StreamBase^® Adapters fall into two licensing categories:

The formal definition of which Adapters fall into the Standard and Premium categories is maintained in PDF format at the following URL: http://www.tibco.com/StreamBase_Restrictions.

You are authorized to use the TIBCO StreamBase^® Standard Adapters as part of your license to use TIBCO Streaming or TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams, according to the terms of your End User License Agreement.

Any TIBCO StreamBase^® Premium Adapter, regardless of installation origin, must be separately licensed before use. Similarly, the TIBCO StreamBase^® High-Performance FIX Engine must be separately licensed.

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If a Premium Adapter or the High Performance FIX Engine is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use it.

Certain StreamBase Adapters require support files from other TIBCO product lines or from other vendors. These files generally take the form of one or more JAR files.

TIBCO Streaming and TIBCO Spotfire 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 StreamBase Adapters from public Maven repositories during the build time for such TIBCO StreamBase 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 StreamBase 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 Streaming and TIBCO Spotfire 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.

TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R Developer Edition is licensed to you for Developer Evaluation purposes only. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in TIBCO’s End User License Agreement, the foregoing license (1) is for an unlimited number of Named Users, and (2) is effective for a term concurrent with the license term for your licensed version of TIBCO StreamBase or TIBCO LiveView, as applicable.

If you require a Production or Non-Production license to TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R, please contact your sales representative.

All editions of the TIBCO Streaming and TIBCO Spotfire Data Streams product downloads include a copy of TIBCO LiveView™ Web Standard Edition.

If you require a Production or other license to TIBCO LiveView™ Web, please contact your sales representative regarding the availability of TIBCO LiveView™ Web Enterprise Edition.

Cloud Software Group, Inc. ("TIBCO") provides a JavaScript sample as part of the TIBCO® Streaming and TIBCO Spotfire® Data Streams 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 TIBCO Spotfire® 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:
