Can I Use JBoss EAP in Live servers after downloading it from jboss.org ?

[muthu.arockiasamy]

HI All,

    As the JBoss EAP download link available in http://JBoss.org  , I have downloaded the zip and extracted into my machine. My question is , Can I use that downloaded server in Live production server? On the other hand, JBoss EAP is not free and we need to purchase it from redhat , then how come its downloadable?

Thanks in advance.

This was disscussed several time, i.e. https://community.jboss.org/thread/228640

You are free to use this EAP versions for development.

But if you run this i.e. in production, as user acceptance test, failover standby you need to purchase a 'subscription' which is not the binary but the support and the permission to run in such production environment.

This is meant to give you the posibility to use EAP early in development to implement against the version which is later used in production.

You did not have access to the support, knowlege base and patches from the Red Hat support portal
