Licensing
How is BIRT F-Type licensed?
BIRT F-Type is distributed to you subject to this license.
Some of the more uncommon restrictions in this license are:
*The computer on which you install BIRT F-Type may not be connected to any other computer, through a clustered configuration or otherwise, so that multiple computers or multiple copies of the software act as one system or application.
*For a single application, you may not combine installations or copies of BIRT F-Type or any other software licensed on a commercial basis from Actuate or a third‑party licensor.
*You may not use BIRT F-Type for development, test, back-up, or other non‑production use in an application where you use commercially licensed Actuate software for production (and vice versa).
*Please refer to the license for all of the terms governing your use of BIRT F-Type.
How can I upgrade BIRT F-Type? What are my options?
There are two ways to upgrade BIRT F-Type.
1 Increase your daily data out capacity of BIRT iHub F-Type, by following the Upgrade link in the dialog to purchase additional capacity and apply for a new Activation Code:
1 Open the data usage dialog.
2 Enter the new code in the text box.
3 Click “Apply”.
The iHub service will restart automatically and the Account Login screen will be shown. The usage meter will change to show the additional capacity you have purchased.
2 Upgrade to a full BIRT iHub license by taking the following steps:
1 Contact Actuate to purchase an upgrade.
2 Complete the transaction and agree to a new set of terms to receive a new license file.
3 Stop the iHub service.
4 Replace the license file (and follow instructions provided with the new license file).
5 Restart the service.
When you’ve done that, the usage meter will disappear. You will have to separately download and install System Console, since this component is not included in BIRT F-Type. The URL will be provided in an email after you agree to the new set of terms.
What happens when I upgrade to another BIRT iHub license type? Will I lose my work?
No, you will not lose your work.
