WebSphere MQ Everyplace is a family of products that collectively provide the tools needed to develop, deploy, and manage WebSphere MQ Everyplace messaging and queuing solutions. The family comprises:

  1. The WebSphere MQ Everyplace licensed product, available on physical media from IBM or as a Web download from:
    http://www-3.ibm.com/software/
    The licensed product includes:

    The physical Program Product also includes entitlement to use the product for non-development use on certain platforms. Further capacity units need to be purchased for use on larger machines, or with the WebSphere MQ bridge.

  2. WebSphere MQ Everyplace SupportPacs, available as Web downloads from:
    http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ or
