Business Case Document.
It is recommended that you download and run the Q program before purchasing a licence. This is so you can ensure that the program will run and connect to your Queue Manager in your environment. It is also useful to ensure that you specify the correct 'UserId' and 'Machine Name' fields for certain types of licenses. You can display these values by issuing the command q -vm. You will not, however, be able to use the program without a licence file.
A purchased licence entitles the user to use any version of the Q program, including any future versions, and get email support for the duration of the licence from the date of purchase. MQGem will never automatically renew the licence. Licences can be renewed at any time, any remaining time on the existing licence will be added to the new licence file.
If you would like a trial licence file which would enable full use of the Q program for a limited time then please send an email to MQGem support
If required, payment can also be made via direct bank transfer. If you would like to arrange an alternative payment method or a different length of licence then please contact MQGem support with your requirements.
The licence file will be sent to the given email address normally within 24 hours. However in exceptional circumstances it may take up to 72 hours.
