The method for applying for the license depends on your specific TIBCO product.

Type 1: For Messaging (RV, EMS, FTL) - Rename and Replace

These products are typically configured to point to a single, specific license file. The simplest and safest renewal method is to replace this file.

1. 1. 1. 1. Locate your current, existing license file (e.g  custom name like my_current_license.bin).
         2. Rename the new file you just downloaded (e.g., my_new_license.bin) to match the exact name of your current, existing license file.
         3. Copy the newly renamed file into the correct directory, overwriting the old, expired file.
         4. Restart NOT needed for your product (EMS, RV, or FTL) for the new license to take effect, product should pick up the new license file.

NOTE :  License Update Timelines : For Messaging Products When you upload a new license file following a renewal, the system synchronization time depends on how close you are to your original expiry date (T):

• • • • • • Renewal Verification: Check the Log file to confirm that the new expiry date is being reflected correctly.

Type 2: For BusinessWorks (BW) - Point to Folder

These products are configured to scan a folder for a valid license.

1. 1. 1. 1. Place the newly downloaded .bin file in the license folder that BW is configured with (e.g., C:/tibco/license or /opt/tibco/license).
         2. Open your product's configuration file (e.g., bwengine.tra for BW 5.x or bwappnode.tra for BW 6.x).
         3. Ensure the license property points to the folder where you placed the new file.
            1. BW 5.x Example: java.property.license.license_source=C:/tibco/license
            2. BW 6.x Example: java.property.bw.engine.license.source=C:/tibco/license
         4. Restart NOT needed for BW5 or BW 6
