    Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio License

      Hi

      I am a bit confused about developer studio license, and a little help is appreciated.

      I want to deploy integration service based application on to production environment, will I have to purchase subscription license for production use?

       

      I have checked on website and it says about Subscription that "They may be used for development purposes only and are not intended for other purposes such as use in production environments or for accessing updates without (an) active Red Hat Subscription(s)."

      also

      "WARNING: By participating in the Program and accepting these terms, you represent that you will be using the Red Hat Subscriptions(s) for development purposes only,"

      and

      "Examples of such violations include, but are not limited to,

      • using the services provided under the Program for a production installation, offering support services to third parties"

       

      so please provide some information on developer studio license.

          Hi Kaul Shah,

           

          Just to clear something up - JBoss Developer Studio it self has zero license fee, it is and have been freely available since JBoss Developer Studio 4.

           

          What I think you are referring to is the product called JBoss Developer Studio Portfolio edition which for a price provides you access to all jboss and red hat runtimes (including Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to use for development.

           

          This license is as you correctly spot for use during development so you are sure you are using software that will actually be supported once you make it go into production.

           

          If you are instead referring to the license provided when you download from Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio then that license mainly applies to the *runtimes* (i.e. JBoss EAP, SOA etc.).

          They also technically applies to Developer Studio but since Developer Studio is a 100% development tool it should have no affect on you.

           

          If you are using EAP, SOA etc. and use Developer Studio to deploy to them in production then that is fine - as long as you got a subscription for the EAP and SOA runtimes.

           

          Hope that clears things up a bit ?

            Hi Max,

             

            Here I am referring to the terms and conditions under Developer Studio, it is about "developer program", can you please explain what's that? is it the 'studio IDE' what they are talking about?

             

            I want to use studio to develop ServiceMix based SOA applications and deploy on Application servers like Weblogic / JBoss with Runtimes like ApacheCXF (not fuse services framework) & ActiveMQ (not fuse message broker), can I do that without licence / subscription fee ?

              Kaul,

               

              Okey - I understand your confusion/concern better now.

               

              The T&C's are targeted for our runtimes (EAP, SOA-P, etc.) not Developer Studio it self. That is obvious since you can go to eclipse marketplace and install it into an existing eclipse and here these T&C's are not shown.

               

              I've asked our team that takes care of the T&C's to make this clarification - until then if you do not feel confident with using it under the current T&C's and my comments here - you can use JBDS from eclipse marketplace which won't require approving the T&C's.
