I assume you mean the tc Server license for HQ server.
<hq-server-home>/conf/license.xml

Hello Shanthi,
With respect to the recently released 2.0 version of tc Server, there are 3 types of license files of note:

1. The "license.xml" file described by Jason earlier is the runtime, digitally signed license for the HQ Server. Hyperic HQ is the management component of tc Server and this file controls the runtime behavior of the management system. The same file exists within AMS for older releases of tc Server since AMS was based on an OEM version of Hyperic HQ pre-dating the acquisition of Hyperic by SpringSource.

2. Usage license - this is the textual usage definition license included with the runtime component of tc Server (the HQ Agent and Tomcat based runtime container). It varies slightly depending on the version you download. The developer edition contains a license tailored for that edition that allows for perpetual use for development. The standard and spring editions include a 90 day evaluation for production license. In tc Server 2.0. This file can be found in the "licenses" subdirectory of the installed runtime product, its name will begin with "SPRINGSOURCE-".

3. Lastly, there is a license file included in the same "licenses" directory covering the required notice and license notifications for embedded 3rd party OSS. This file is called tc-server-third-party-licenses.txt. In prior releases, 3rd party OSS notifications were spread across a number of files.

I hope that helps, please let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Hi,

TcServer license is used for only the server or for all the instances which we are creating in the box.
Means, do we need to buy individual license for each instance created from the TcServer?

Check with your sales rep for details. Today tcServer is licensed per CPU socket, and you can run as many instances as you like on your licensed CPUs.
