Licensing

MQe is a toolkit that enables users to write MQe applications and to create an environment in which to run them. Before deploying this product, or applications that use it, please make sure that you have the necessary licenses.

  1. The pricing of licenses for use of the Program on servers is based on Processor License Units. Use of each copy of the Program on a server requires one Processor License Unit to be acquired for each processor or symmetric multiprocessor contained in the server on which the copy of the Program is to run. Different types of Processor License Units and Device Use Authorizations are required, depending on whether the Program is running on point-of-sale, that is retail, equipment or on another type of computer. Use of the Program on retail equipment requires a Retail server license, whereas use on other (non-retail) equipment requires a Network server license.
  2. Additional Device Use Authorization is required for any use of the Program on a separate client device, except those included in the Network server license described in 3. below.
  3. Each Network server license includes authorization for the restricted use of the Program with no more than one hundred (100) client devices, on condition that all such copies are used in the same economic enterprise or organization as the server copy.

Please refer to http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wmqe/ for details of these restrictions.

Device platform use authorizations, which are recorded on Proof of Entitlement documents and valid to support the use of MQe, are required to use the product (other than for purposes of code development and test) on specified client platforms. These licenses do not entitle the user to use the MQe Bridge, or to run on the server platforms specified in the MQe pricing group lists published by IBM® and also available on the Web via the URL mentioned below.

Please refer to http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/ for details of these restrictions.
