TIBCO Spotfire software	TIBCO Spotfire® Analyst 7.7.x Connection to a TIBCO Spotfire Server 7.7.x, with a TIBCO Spotfire 7.7.x deployment, for software deployment and licensing. Existing TIBCO Spotfire Analyst installations of version 5.0.x or higher can be upgraded to version 7.7.x by connecting to a TIBCO Spotfire Server 7.7.x, with a TIBCO Spotfire 7.7.x deployment. TIBCO Spotfire® Desktop 7.7.x Spotfire Desktop 7.7.x does not require any additional TIBCO Spotfire software, or connection to a Spotfire Server.
