License Considerations

StreamBase and Live Datamart are Licensed Separately

Your TIBCO StreamBase® installation, starting with release 7.5.0, 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:

  • In order to deploy a TIBCO StreamBase® application on an instance of StreamBase Server, you must have a license to use TIBCO StreamBase®.

  • Similarly, to deploy a TIBCO® Live Datamart application on a TIBCO® LiveView Server, you must have a license to use TIBCO® Live Datamart. A TIBCO Live Datamart license always requires and presumes a companion license for TIBCO StreamBase.

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.

Premium Adapters are Licensed Separately

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

  • Standard Adapters, installed as part of the combined TIBCO StreamBase plus TIBCO Live Datamart installation package.

  • Premium Adapters, installed as part of the combined TIBCO StreamBase plus TIBCO Live Datamart installation package.

  • Premium Adapters, installed as part of the separate TIBCO StreamBase CEP Connectivity Package.

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/multimedia/tibco-streambase-adapter-restrictions.pdf.

You are authorized to use the TIBCO StreamBase® Standard Adapters as part of your license to use TIBCO StreamBase® according to the terms of your End-User License Agreement.

Any TIBCO StreamBase® Premium Adapter, regardless of installation origin, must be separately licensed. 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 TIBCO StreamBase® Premium Adapter or the High Performance FIX Engine is not listed on your Order Form, then you are not entitled to use it.
