IBM MQ Redistributable Components

IBM® MQ delivers several components that are licensed to be redistributable with third-party applications. The redistributable license terms may be found in the relevant IBM MQ Program license agreement.

The license agreement can be found at the IBM Terms website. In the license agreement, IBM MQ Client components are also listed as being Components Not Used for Establishing Required Entitlements. It is the IBM MQ queue manager to which the application is connected that requires correct entitlement.

All IBM MQ redistributable components are supported for use in production environments, and share the same system requirements and support lifecycle as the corresponding installable client images. See the IBM Software Lifecycle page for more information.
