Activating TIBCO products
Once the license is downloaded, the TIBCO products need to be configured with the license file.
BW5
BW5 can be configured with the license file directory location during installation. Assuming the license is placed under the directory TIBCO_HOME/license (for example, C:/tibco/license on Windows or /opt/tibco/license on Linux), set the location as shown below.
If the location is provided during installation, the installation process will add the following property to TIBCO_HOME/bw/5.16/bin/bwengine.tra.
Windows
java.property.license.license_source=C:/tibco/license
Linux
java.property.license.license_source=/opt/tibco/license
If the location is not provided during installation, the property may be added manually to TIBCO_HOME/bw/5.16/bin/bwengine.tra.
BW5 (Containers) on TIBCO Platform
Create a Kubernetes secret from the license file and mount the secret as a volume.
BW6
Set the property java.property.bw.engine.license.source and provide the full path of the directory that contains the license file in the bwappnode.tra of the bin folder:
java.property.bw.engine.license.source=C:/tibco/license
BWCE
Set the environment variable LICENSE_SOURCE to the path of the directory that contains the license.
docker run -it -e LICENSE_SOURCE=/resources/addons/license <application_image>

Issue/Introduction
Many TIBCO products now require activation via a license in order to start. TIBCO recommends activation done using a local license file. With In-Product activation (unbound), a single license can be copied to all operating environments where TIBCO products are run. This article provides instructions on how to generate local license file and activate TIBCO products.
At the time of writing of this article, the following products require activation and support In-Product activation -
