Licenses for TPF Tools Download

Tools that are available from the TPF Tools Web site are either "as is" or need a license. The licensed tools are for TPF customers only, and "as is" tools are available to anyone who wants them. 
 

Tools "As Is"

The "as is" tools are provided with no support intended or implied. If errors are found in the code, we make no commitment about correcting them, although we may. Naturally, IBM retains all the rights to the tools as stated in the "as is" license that  appears each time you download a tool. 

Licensed Tools

Some tools that are available from the TPF Tools Web site require your company to have a TPF product license.  Accordingly, these tools are intended for existing TPF customers. Anyone who works for a TPF customer can download these tools, which we support by correcting errors and answering questions. They are all considered Beta tools because we may never release them with the TPF product. 

 There are two kinds of licensed tools: 

  1. General License tools: These refer to the license that comes with the TPF product. Most licensed tools for download are this kind. 

  2.  
  3. Special License tools:  These refer to a special license that contains provisions over and above the usual TPF product license. The special license is needed because of requirements to which we must comply. Before you can download any of these tools, the special provisions associated with the tool must be completed. These provisions are documented on the tool page. 
C ustomers can request a user ID and password to access general license tools by following the Request a TPF Customer User ID and Password link.
