Hi!
I am totally new to MQ but really like the product. At the moment I work with the 90-day-trial version which will expire in the near future. Is there a special license for developers? I don't need a full blown license because I use it only for development purposes.
Regards
Heiko |

Ask your IBM rep, who is the only authoritive source of licensing information.

Hi,
Presumably you are developing with MQ for some purpose i.e. for a company that does have a valid licence. I seem to recall that each processor unit allows for a certain number of installs for restricted development purposes.
You would have to find the terms & conditions for the version you are using on the IBM site to check. Not that easy apparently... as I can't find them right now.
Cheers,
Vicky |

| If you use client connections(server connection channels) you will only need the libraries on the clients which are free, conecting to the server (with the license-not free). |

Thanks for the replies.
No, it is not enough to have onyl the client installed, I need the server also. I develop a component that is working with a remote MQ server to which I have no access. So I have to install a server here on my system (in a virtual machine) and test everything, then switch the component to work with the remote MQ server. |

Then ask whoever administers that server what the licensing deal is. Or who their IBM rep is.

The license for a single instance of MQ for a single processor (even if it counts as a multi-core processor and therefore requires more than one processor value unit license) may actually be much less expensive than you think it is...
Look into the "Passport Advantage Express" program. |
