TIBCO StreamBase License Considerations

TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO 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 StreamBase application on an instance of TIBCO® StreamBase Server, you must have a license to use 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 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.

TERR Developer Edition Included with StreamBase

Effective with TIBCO StreamBase® version 7.6.3 and TIBCO® Live Datamart 2.1.3, the TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO Live Datamart products, when installed on Linux or Windows, include a copy of TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R Developer Edition. 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 (i) is for an unlimited number of Named Users, and (ii) is effective for a term concurrent with the license term for your licensed version of TIBCO StreamBase or TIBCO Live Datamart, as applicable. If you require a Production or Non-Production license to TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R, please contact your sales representative.
