Can anyone let me know if IBM MF 8 developer kit is free to use ? I couldn't find proper information on this.
Thanks in advance.
Allow me to clarify:
MobileFirst / Worklight Developer Edition - can be freely downloaded from https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/downloads/
MobileFirst / Worklight Consumer/Enterprise Edition - can be obtained once you have purchased IBM MobileFirst / Worklight.
There is no "license information" in the product itself; you do not register it to a specific name or company.
You should consult with the procurement personnel in your company, or whomever did the IBM MobileFirst / Worklight deal in your company to understand the nature of the deal - renewal date, amount of applications allowed to develop and so on.
You can also contact IBM, but it would make more sense for you to figure this out in-house..

I have been given an assignment to take up training on IBM MobileFirst 6.3 Server Administration. I want to show the students how to install MobileFirst server and configure it. But after going through the documentation, i realized , the server component is not part of MobileFirst Foundation developer edition, which is free (Correct me if i am wrong).
How do i show the server installation and configuration without buying the license ? Is there an alternative here ?
Thanks..
No.
As you mentioned, the server component is not free and you must purchase it from IBM.
This is really not a question for Stack Overflow.
Maybe as an IBM partner ? (https://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/servlet/mem/ContentHandler/partnerworld-member)
I have been using Worklight Quality Assurance(WQA) (renamed as IBM MobileFirst Platform Quality Assurance in 6.3 release) and had set up the Rational Team Concert to automatically create work item for bugs and crashes. In my RTC setup, I had used IBM DevOps service project (JazzHub) for automatic creation of work time for the bugs and crashes reported from the instrumented application. This integration has stopped working after I update to WQA 6.3 (IBM MobileFirst Platform Quality Assurance 6.3)
With IBM MobileFirst Platform Quality Assurance 6.3, if you are integrating with IBM DevOps service project for work item creation for bugs and crashes, then in the Rational Team Concert setup page, you need to provide the Jazz ID for the username and password of the IBM ID that is linked to the Jazz ID for the password for the authentication to work.
For earlier version of WQA, the integration with IBM DevOps service project used to work with JazzID and Jazz Password. If you had already setup the integration with JazzID/Jazz Password, and then you have upgraded to IBM MobileFirst Platform Quality Assurance 6.3, then you need to re-configure the RTC setup with JazzID and IBM ID Password for the integration to work.
More information can be found in the Knowledge Center : Integrating with Rational Team Concert
I have just been handed over a Worklight Server, set up by my Ex-Colleague, and I need to know where can I find the License information, as if the Product is registered on my company name and when the Renewal date is.
How can I find the License information, I have tried using IBM Installation Manager > Manage License option, but it doesn't show any Worklight related Products in the list.
Allow me to clarify:
Worklight Developer Edition - can be freely downloaded from the Eclipse Marketplace.
Worklight Consumer/Enterprise Edition - can be obtained once you have purchased IBM Worklight.
There is no "license information" in the product itself; you do not register it to a specific name or company.
You should consult with the procurement personnel in your company, or whomever did the IBM Worklight deal in your company to understand the nature of the deal - renewal date, amount of applications allowed to develop and so on.
You can also contact IBM Worklight, but it would make more sense for you to figure this out in-house.
Can we implement IWAP reports with developer edition of IBM Worklight 6.0 ? If yes please guide me with technical document or any link. Is this feature only available with Enterprise or Consumer version ?
If yes then how can we implement/test this on development environment. And can anyone please provide me with list of features which are not available with developer version(one which comes into my mind is Application Center).
The Operational Analytics feature introduced in Worklight 6.0 is only available for paid versions of IBM Worklight 6.0. There's a file (analytics.zip) in the resulting IBM Installation Manager output folder that contains everything you need to setup the IBM Websphere Analytics Platform (IWAP). Once you have IWAP installed, you will need to modify a couple of properties inside worklight.properties which, among other things, tell the Worklight Server where to send the analytics data.
Regarding features found only in paid versions, beside Application Center and Operational Analytics, ability to use other DBMS (MySQL, DB2, etc.) and Application Servers (WAS, Tomcat, etc.). There are also Ant scripts that aim to help with common tasks like deployments.

is there any documented limitations of Worklight Studio for developer?
Or any differences between Worklight Studio for developer and the Worklight Studio provided after the product purchase?
#Alastair Pitts: IBM Worklight Studio is a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, that allows you to develop applications for the IBM Worklight Mobile Application Platform.
The differences between the IBM Worklight Developer/Consumer/Enterprise editions are:
Developer:
Developer edition is licensed for development use only, free download
Does not contain the application authenticity feature
Consumer/Enterprise:
Enterprise edition has pricing metrics aligned with Business-to-Enterprise (B2E) purchasing patterns.
Consumer edition has pricing metrics aligned with Business-to-Consumer (B2C) purchasing patterns.
Contains the application authenticity feature
