[jbdevstudio-users] Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio License

Hi Kaul Shah,

Just to clear something up - JBoss Developer Studio it self has zero license fee, it is and have been freely available since JBoss Developer Studio 4.

What I think you are referring to is the product called JBoss Developer Studio Portfolio edition which for a price provides you access to all jboss and red hat runtimes (including Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to use for development. 

This license is as you correctly spot for use during development so you are sure you are using software that will actually be supported once you make it go into production.

If you are instead referring to the license provided when you download from Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (http://www.jboss.org/products/jbds.html) then that license mainly applies to the *runtimes* (i.e. JBoss EAP, SOA etc.). 
They also technically applies to Developer Studio but since Developer Studio is a 100% development tool it should have no affect on you.

If you are using EAP, SOA etc. and use Developer Studio to deploy to them in production then that is fine - as long as you got a subscription for the EAP and SOA runtimes.

Hope that clears things up a bit ?
