Working with Ironstream Hub requires two types of licenses:
- License to use the Ironstream Hub
- License to connect to the IBM sources
License to use Ironstream Hub
The Ironstream Hub license file is called ihublicense.txt and you will obtain it from your sales or support executive.
You need to place this file conf folder. You can install Hub without the license file; however, you will not be able to work until you place the license file on the correct path.
These are the notifications you will receive at various stages if you do not have the license file placed correctly or if your license is due to expire.
