License Considerations

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

Your Spotfire Streaming license includes the right to run either Spotfire StreamBase^® or Spotfire LiveView™ servers, or both, either singly or in multiples configured for data redundancy and/or high availability.

Spotfire Streaming also includes the right to use the following features:

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

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

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

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

If you have licensed only Spotfire StreamBase^®, your installation includes both Spotfire StreamBase and Spotfire^® 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 Spotfire StreamBase and Spotfire 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 Spotfire 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 Spotfire StreamBase^® and Spotfire^® Live Datamart.

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

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

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

Thus, although the two products are installed together, and although Spotfire Live Datamart is dependent on Spotfire 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 Spotfire StreamBase is not listed on your Order Form, you are not entitled to use it.

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

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

The formal definition of which Adapters fall into the Standard and Premium categories is described in Adapter Restrictions

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

Any Spotfire^® Streaming Premium Adapter, regardless of installation origin, must be separately licensed before use. Similarly, the Spotfire 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 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.

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

Spotfire Enterprise Runtime for R (a/k/a TERR™), 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 Spotfire StreamBase or Spotfire LiveView, as applicable.

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

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

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

Cloud Software Group Inc. ("Cloud SG") provides a JavaScript sample as part of the Spotfire® Streaming and Spotfire Cloud™ Data Streams product distributions (“Sample”).

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 Spotfire® Streaming and Spotfire Cloud™ Data Streams may use the Library in connection with their instances of Spotfire LiveView servers solely on the condition that they comply with the following limitations:
