License Considerations for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming

TIBCO^® Enterprise Streaming is a license package available starting in June 2025. The components of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming package are described in What is TIBCO Enterprise Streaming?.

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

Spotfire® Enterprise Data Streams is a license package available as an add-on for Spotfire®. The Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams package includes the same components as TIBCO Enterprise Streaming, and includes TIBCO Enterprise Streaming branding. Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams entitles customers to deploy TIBCO Enterprise Streaming components for the sole purpose of serving live data to Spotfire® clients. Sending data to any client other than Spotfire® requires the purchase of a separate license to TIBCO Enterprise Streaming.

Your existing TIBCO StreamBase^® license is not automatically upgraded to a TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license. Your rights under your existing TIBCO StreamBase license continue unchanged for the term of that license.

Your TIBCO StreamBase license grants you the rights to deploy a StreamBase application on the number of TIBCO StreamBase server instances described in the terms of your license.

Adapters are programs that convert data to and from the StreamBase tuple protocol. TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Adapters fall into three categories:

They are installed and licensed as part of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams installation packages and licenses.

The formal definition of which Adapters fall into the Standard,Premium and FIX categories is described in TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Adapter Restrictions.

You are authorized to use the Adapters, as part of your license to use TIBCO Enterprise Streaming according to the terms of your End User License Agreement.

Both the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and Spotfire Enterprise Data Streams licenses include all three categories of adapters. Usage of any TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapter requires TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine license.

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If a TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine license is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use the Engine and the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters.

The unit of measure for TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters and TIBCO Enterprise Streaming Premium Adapters is a Connector.

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

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

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

Cloud Software Group Inc. ("Cloud SG") provides a JavaScript sample as part of the TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming 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 Spotfire Cloud™ 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:
