Overview
FIX Edge Java is an application server providing FIX connectivity to multiple clients. Client applications communicate with FEJ through one of the multiple transport protocols (e.g. Simple Sockets, TIBCO, JMS, HTTPs) employing transport adaptors. It is designed to be as easy as possible to install, configure, administrate, and monitor trading information flows. It is written in Java and has a performance profile suitable for the needs of all clients up to and including large sell-side institutions and large-volume traders.

The FIXEdge Java license file can be obtained upon request to the Sales team. The license has an expiration date but it is possible to generate a perpetual license. License information is stored in the fixaj2-license.bin file for FIXEdge Java versions earlier than 1.10.3. Since FIXEdge Java 1.10.3 the license information is stored in the fixedgej-license.bin file. The license file is expected to be placed in the FIXEdge Java config.rootpath=./conf directory. In order to apply for a new license, it is enough to replace the current file with a newer one and restart FIXEdge Java.
Please, refer to the How to update license files article for additional information.
