Hi Obaid,
All IBM-provided MQ clients are available at no charge. There is no trial or expiry period for the clients.
Download links for the latest clients are listed here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=roadmap-mq-downloads#mq_downloads_admins__familyraclients__title__1
For the C++ client, you can choose the installable client package, or the redistributable client package - the latter can be bundled inside an application, subject to the included license terms.

I looked into the license information but I am unable to understand it completely ..
There is evaluation related information but I am not able to grasp the idea that will it expire after, may be, 90 days or not?
Secondly, if the evaluation version should be incorporated for production.
I am talking in context of IBM MQ Client ..

Hi Obaid,
You can find information about IBM MQ licenses in the "MQ Install Path\Licenses" folder. It is available in different languages; if English is your preferred language, open the English.rtf file and have a look.
Example: In Windows, license files are located at C:\Program Files\IBM\MQ\Licenses if the MQ client is installed in the default location.

I am working on POC for a project and in that project I need to connect to a remote IBM MQ server.
I need to propose the solution to my supervisor but I am not able to find the license information of the IBM MQ Client. My language of preference will be C++. I need to identify if IBM MQ Client can be used free-of-cost or is it paid.
I tried searching on the internet and found-out that IBM MQ Client is free for .NET but I couldn't find the relevant information for C++.
