Details for On Prem IBM webMethods 10.15 and Earlier
Documentation for 10.15 or Earlier
Obtain 10.15 or Earlier Containers
To download containers for webMethods 10.15, go to https://containers.webmethods.io/products. Some products also offer containers for releases prior to 10.15. If you need a container that is not offered, you can build it yourself using instructions in the product documentation for the release you want.
Download Installer and Update Manager, or Command Central for 10.15 or Earlier
Until April 30, 2025, you can download the webMethods Installer and webMethods Update Manager, or webMethods Command Central, for webMethods 10.15 or earlier from the Software AG Empower Portal.
After April 30, 2025, you will be able to download the IBM webMethods Installer and IBM webMethods Update Manager for webMethods products 10.15 through 10.5 from IBM Fix Central, as follows:
- Create a new directory on your target system.
- Go to IBM Support: Fix Central, click Find product. In the Product selector drop down, type webMethods Installer.
- In the Installed Version drop down, select the product release you are going to install (for example, 10.15).
- In the Platform drop down, select the operating system onto which you want to install (for example, MAC OS x64).
- Click Continue. When the Select fixes page displays, click Continue. You will see options in the format IBM_webMethods_webMethods_Installer_<operating system>.
- Select the checkbox next to the webMethods Installer you want to download and click Continue.
- Repeat these steps for webMethods Update Manager.
- After you are sure the downloaded webMethods Installer and webMethods Update Manager are working, delete any webMethods Installer or webMethods Update Manager you previously downloaded from Software AG Empower Portal.
- For instructions on using webMethods Installer and webMethods Update Manager, see the webMethods documentation for your product release.
After April 1, 2025, if you need to install or obtain fixes for product release 10.3 or earlier, contact IBM support.
Keep Your 10.15 or Earlier Products Running (License Keys and Metering)
The instructions in this section will enable your webMethods 10.15 or earlier on premises products to continue working for as long as you maintain an active entitlement with IBM.
- Determine whether your contract is core-based or transaction-based. If you aren't sure, review your contract or contact your IBM Sales Representative for help.
- Look in the product documentation for your webMethods 10.15 or earlier on premises products to find all the license key directories in your existing webMethods installation. If you stored license keys in any custom directories, find those directories as well.
- Copy your license keys and move the copies to a directory outside your existing webMethods installation.
- Open the keys with a text editor and find the lines that start with <ExpirationDate>. If you do not see expiration dates, you have a perpetual license and need take no further action. If you do see expiration dates, follow the steps below before the license key expiration dates.
Note: If you have Integration Server, and you have a license key for the WxConfig package, and you are following instructions below to apply generic license keys, ask your IBM Sales Representative for a new WxConfig license key. Then copy the new WxConfig license key over the existing one before you restart your products. (This is not necessary for transaction-based (metered) if you are applying the fixes.)
| Type of contract |
webMethods Products |
Steps to follow |
|
Core-based
|
All products, 10.15 or earlier
|
- Go to IBM Support: Fix Central and click Find product. In the Product selector dropdown, type webMethods License Keys.
- Download the generic license keys for your products, and follow the instructions in the accompanying readme to apply the keys. The generic license keys disable metering.
- Restart your products.
|
|
Transaction-based (not metered)
|
Integration Server, Trading Networks, API Gateway, or ActiveTransfer 10.1 or earlier
All other products 10.15 or earlier
|
- Go to IBM Support: Fix Central and click Find product. In the Product selector dropdown, type webMethods License Keys.
- Download the generic license keys for your products, and follow the instructions in the accompanying readme to apply the keys. The generic license keys disable metering.
- Restart your products.
|
|
Transaction-based (metered)
|
Integration Server, Trading Networks, API Gateway, and/or ActiveTransfer 10.3 through 10.15
|
- Download 10.15 or earlier IBM webMethods Update Manager as described elsewhere in this blog post.
- Apply fixes to each product as described below. The fixes cause the license key expiration dates to be ignored, but metering to continue.
Integration Server
Ideally, install these core fixes after they become available:
- IS_10.15_Core_Fix19
- IS_10.11_Core_Fix19
- IS_10.7_Core_Fix27
- IS_10.5_Core_Fix31
- IS_10.3_Core_Fix32
If you cannot install the core fixes, install the lightweight hotfixes listed below. The hotfixes only affect the licensing component, and do not change any core Integration Server functionality. Use the Support Patch feature of Update Manager to install the relevant hotfix using the key listed below. See the Update Manager documentation for instructions on how to install a hotfix.
- Integration Server 10.15 with Core Fix 6 and above, use support patch key: 1_PIE-96691_11
- Integration Server 10.15 with Core Fix 5 and below, use support patch key: 1_PIE_96691_12
- Integration Server 10.11 with Core Fix 12 and above, use support patch key: 1_PIE-96691_13
- Integration Server 10.11 with Core Fix 11 and below, use support patch key: 1_PIE-97670_5
- Integration Server 10.7 with Core Fix 16 and above, use support patch key: 1_PIE-97670_1
- Integration Server 10.7 with Core Fix 15 and below, use support patch key: 1_PIE-97670_2
- Integration Server 10.5 with any Core Fix level, use support patch key: 1_PIE-97670_3
- Integration Server 10.3 with any Core Fix level, use support patch key: 1_PIE-97670_4
API Microgateway
Use Update Manager to install the API Microgateway fix for your version:
ActiveTransfer
Use Update Manager to install the relevant ActiveTransfer fix for your version:
ActiveTransfer Agent
- MAG_10.15_Fix1
- MAG_10.11_Fix1
- MAG_10.7_Fix1
ActiveTransfer Server:
- MAT_10.15_Server_Fix13
- MAT_10.11_Server_Fix24
- MAT_10.7_Server_Fix27
If the license key expiration dates are so soon that you do not have time to apply fixes, follow these steps:
- Go to IBM Support: Fix Central and click Find product. In the Product selector dropdown, type webMethods License Keys.
- Download the generic license keys for your products, and follow the instructions in the accompanying readme to apply the keys. The generic license keys disable metering.
- As soon as possible, apply the fixes listed above.
- Move the license key copies you made earlier back into the license key directories. The license key copies re-enable metering.
- Restart your products.

EOS Dates for 10.15 and Earlier Releases
Please find EOS dates for 10.15 and earlier releases here https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7180543
Details for IBM webMethods 11.1
Documentation for 11.1
Download Installer and Update Manager, or Command Central for 11.1
After mid-January 2025, IBM will begin moving contacts and entitlements for existing Software AG customers and partners to IBM systems. After your contacts and entitlements have been moved, you will be able to download IBM webMethods Installer and IBM webMethods Update Manager, or IBM webMethods Command Central so that you will be able to install the IBM webMethods 11.1 products when they become available. For instructions, see the IBM webMethods documentation for these tools. IBM webMethods 11.1 might be available in March 2025.
If you are not able to take one or more of the actions described above, your contacts and entitlements have not yet been moved. Please try again later.
Add Metering to 11.1 Installations
Starting with IBM webMethods 11.1, there are no longer product license keys.
Integration Server/Microservices Runtime, Trading Networks, API Gateway, and ActiveTransfe are metered products. For transaction-based customers, metering is required by your contract. If you do not enable metering, the products will work, but you will see warnings in the product GUIs and logs.
By default, metering is not enabled on new IBM webMethods 11.1 on-prem installations. To enable metering, first use Update Manager to install 11.1 fixes that include metering support for the usage-based products. The fixes are:
- Metering infrastructure: MTA_11.1_Fix2 metering (all installations)
- API Gateway: YAI_11.1_YAIC_Fix3
- Integration Server/Microservices Runtime: IS_11.1_Core_Fix3
- Trading Networks: TNS_11.1_Fix1
- ActiveTransfer Server: MAT_11.1_Server_Fix1
Then generate metering configurations, place them in your installations, and restart your products as explained here https://ibm.biz/metering-documentation
The metered products will start reporting transactions.
If your subscription includes both on prem and SaaS, you will automatically see dashboards for your metering data in your SaaS environments.
If your subscription is on prem only, ask your CSM to help you sign up for a self-hosted SaaS tenant that will show your metering data in a dashboard. If you are upgrading to 11.1 and you already have a dashboard you have been using for 10.x products, make the 11.1 metering data appear on the dashboard by opening the dropdown under Contract ID at the top left of the dashboard and then selecting your on prem Site ID.
If you are not able to take one or more of the actions described above, your contacts and entitlements have not yet been moved. Please try again later.
Upgrade/Migrate Products to 11.1
After mid-January 2025, IBM will begin moving contacts and entitlements for existing Software AG customers and partners to IBM systems.
- Read the Upgrading IBM webMethods Products 11.1 guide to plan your upgrade.
- After your contacts and entitlements have been moved, follow the instructions in the guide to download the tools you need to perform the upgrade/migration (for example, IBM webMethods Installer and IBM webMethods Update Manager).
If you are not able to take one or more of the actions described above, your contacts and entitlements have not yet been moved. Please try again later.
Obtain 11.1 Containers
After mid-January 2025, IBM will begin moving contacts and entitlements for existing Software AG customers and partners to IBM systems.
After your contacts and entitlements have been moved, you will be able to download containers for IBM webMethods 11.1 products as explained below.
For most IBM webMethods products, see the product documentation for instructions.
For only IBM Terracotta and IBM BigMemory Max, use the instructions below.
- Go to https://myibm.ibm.com/dashboard/
- Scroll down to the Container Software & Entitlement Keys section and click View library.
- On the Entitlement keys page, click Add new key, and then copy the key.
- Open a command line prompt.
- Log in to the Docker registry using the command docker login cp.icr.io -u cp -p <entitlement_key>
- Pull the container image you want using the command docker pull cp.icr.io/cp/<product_name>:version
If you are not able to take one or more of the actions described above, your contacts and entitlements have not yet been moved. Please try again later.
For IBM Terracotta, there is no prefix, the version number is 11.1, and the product names are:
- ibm-terracotta-voter
- ibm-terracotta-server
- ibm-terracotta-management-server
- ibm-terracotta-config-tool
- ibm-terracotta-cluster-tool
For BigMemory Max, there is no prefix, the version number is 4.4.1, and the product names are:

Rename of Software AG Cloud and URLs
Software AG Cloud has been renamed IBM webMethods iPaaS. We will change the URLs for Software AG Cloud components to new URLs soon.
After the change, your existing URLs will continue to work. However, we will eventually deprecate the existing URLs. Before that deprecation date arrives, you will need to replace the URLs with the new URLs anywhere you saved those URLs, such as browser bookmarks.
We will provide dates for the URL changes and deprecation, and instructions on changing to the new URLs, in early April 2025.
