I recently downloaded IBM webMethods 11.1.0.0, and I noticed the expiration date is set to “Unlimited.” This is definitely software I’d pay for if I could afford it, but I’m broke right now!
I don’t have a company or startup yet, but I’m thinking about starting one. Would I be allowed to use this version for a future startup or any commercial use case?
Can someone share the terms of use with me?
Error messages / full error message screenshot / log file:
I’m curious where you found the free trial download for webMethods 11. Can you provide the link? Typically, the free license for on-premises is one year.
Regardless, the 10.15 evaluation license agreement explicitly states, “In no event may the Product be deployed or used for any commercial production purpose such as developing new applications or testing, supporting, maintaining, or reengineering of existing applications, unless you acquire a commercial license from Software GmbH and pay the applicable license fees.”
I doubt the terms have changed with the move to IBM. So, my educated guess would be no.
