Can IBM Websphere MQ client be used without installing

I want to use IBM Websphere MQ client v7.5. I am writing standalone JMS client application to send and consume messages from the IBM WebsphereMQ server(which is running somewhere else but I have authority to send/receive messages) I followed steps below:

  1. Installed Websphere MQ client(Free version for 6 months) and did all basic installation.
  2. I copied required Jar to other location/host and wrote a sample JMS application to send/receive messages. I am able to communicate to with the server.

My questions is : Can I use these Jars independently on any host(even in production) for life long or I should buy proper licence, install the client and then use those JARs ?

Thanks,
Anuj

The client is permanently free. Where did you find one that is only free for 6 months? – Morag Hughson

MQ v8.0.0.4 provides exactly what you want. See here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21969244. Look for IBM MQ JMS and Java 'All Client'. Client is free but whoever runs the queue manager must have appropriate licenses.
