The WebLogic Platform software requires a valid license to run.
When you install WebLogic Platform, the installation program installs
a one-year evaluation license with access for up to 20 client connections.
The evaluation license is a full license, enabling all of the component
features of WebLogic Platform.

Non-Expiring License Types
|
|
|
A developer license gives a customer access to WebLogic
Server, WebLogic Integration, and WebLogic Portal development
functionality, and supports 15 concurrent connections. A WebLogic
Workshop Developer license is available with the WebLogic
Platform Developer license as part of a limited-time promotion.
This type of license is typically used in a development environment
where a developer is preparing an application to run on top
of WebLogic Platform; a production license is required for
product deployment.
|
|
A production license allows unlimited connections and development
for an unrestricted period of time, for a specific IP address.
|
|
An ISV license is an extended version of a production license
that allows ISVs to distribute the server software to many
customers, while keeping control of the license by providing
ISV-specific license enforcement. For details about ISVs,
see the BEA
WebLogic Server Partner's Guide.

License Packages for WebLogic Platform 7.0
|
|
You can install and license individual components
of WebLogic Platform, or the complete platform. During installation,
the installation program installs a single license.bea
file in the BEA Home directory in which you install the software.
If a license.bea
file already exists, the installation program updates the license.
This license file is checked at runtime to determine which features
you can use. The licenses available for WebLogic Platform 7.0 are
described in the following table.
