TIBCO StreamBase License Considerations

TIBCO StreamBase vs TIBCO Streaming

TIBCO® Streaming is a license package available starting in November 2018 that combines TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO Live Datamart into a single product.

License holders of either TIBCO StreamBase or TIBCO Live Datamart are NOT upgraded automatically to TIBCO Streaming. Support for the TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO Live Datamart product lines continue as before according to the terms of your support agreement. Contact your TIBCO Sales Engineer to discuss upgrading your license to the new product package.

TIBCO StreamBase License Does Not Include TIBCO Live Datamart

Many customers acquire licenses for both TIBCO StreamBase® and TIBCO® Live Datamart.

Even if you have licensed only TIBCO StreamBase®, your installation 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:

  • 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.

  • If you wish to separately deploy a TIBCO Live Datamart application on a TIBCO LiveView server, you must have a separate license to use TIBCO Live Datamart.

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.

TIBCO Live Datamart License Does Not Include TIBCO StreamBase

Many customers acquire licenses for both TIBCO® Live Datamart and TIBCO StreamBase®.

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

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

Thus, although the two products are installed together, and although TIBCO Live Datamart is dependent on TIBCO StreamBase, the two products are licensed independently, according to the terms of the End User License Agreement for each product:

  • To deploy a TIBCO Live Datamart application on a TIBCO LiveView server, you must have a license to use TIBCO Live Datamart.

  • If you wish to separately deploy a StreamBase application on an instance of TIBCO StreamBase server, you must obtain a separate license to use TIBCO StreamBase.

The test for your license status is your TIBCO Order Form. If TIBCO StreamBase 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 two 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 but licensed separately.

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/StreamBase_Restrictions.

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

Effective with TIBCO StreamBase® version 7.6.3 and TIBCO® Live Datamart 2.1.3, the TIBCO StreamBase and TIBCO Live Datamart products 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.
