Downloads FAQs
Spotfire Download site
You can browse all available Spotfire products, but to download an installer you need to be associated with an Enterprise Spotfire Account that has purchased the product directly from Spotfire or an authorized third party. For more information, contact a Spotfire administrator in your organization.
Note: If you purchased Spotfire products through a cloud marketplace or signed up for a free trial, then you will find your installer through those channels. You will not be able to download installers from here. See further instructions below.
The Spotfire Download site is the new place to find product installers for all Spotfire products which you purchased directly from Spotfire or an authorized third party. Use the same credentials as before to access the site.
There is now a separate downloads site for those products: www.tibco.com/downloads.
As a trial user, you have access to both the Spotfire web client and the Spotfire installed Windows client. You reach the installer for the Spotfire Windows client through the web client. To download the Windows installer, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Spotfire trial account using the email and password you created during sign-up.
- Once signed in, click the 3x3 menu icon in the top-right corner (next to your name).
- From the dropdown, select Spotfire Analytics to open the web client.
- In the web client, click the blue "Download" button to access the installer.
Go back to the cloud marketplace where you purchased Spotfire. The installer for the Spotfire Windows client is available through the Spotfire Server once you have installed the server.
For further assistance, please contact Support.

Downloading
‘Full product download’ is the default download method. It will download and run a downloader file that installs the complete product or component package.
‘Individual file download’ is only relevant if you want to download a specific file within the full product download, and you are on a really slow connection. Downloading all the files individually is equivalent to the full product download, but through a very manual process.
Using the downloader file is safe and secure. It doesn’t contain spyware, adware, or malware. The downloader process won’t gather or transmit your personal information or expose your computer to software viruses. The purpose of the downloader file is to improve the speed, reliability, and efficiency of your software download experience.
The downloader file is a single-purpose, disposable file that remains active for 24 hours. Because the downloader file isn’t installed on your computer, there is nothing for you to uninstall. If you’d like to remove the downloader file after using it, navigate to where it was saved and delete it from your system.
First make sure you have signed in and navigated to the product page which you want to download. See the first topic under Finding my products for instructions.

- Run the downloader file.
Follow the on-screen instructions to save and install the product or component files. The downloader expires in 24 hours, after which time you need to get the downloader again.

The user will get an email as confirmation. If they do not have a TIBCO Account from before it will be an activation email to complete the registration and generate a password.
We need a way to authenticate and authorize your access to the Spotfire Download site. We are using the TIBCO Account (TA) from Cloud Software Group for that. When you add a new user a TIBCO Account will be generated for them unless they already have an account from before, such as from starting a Spotfire trial. New users will receive an activation email to complete the TIBCO Account and generate a password. Users with an existing account will receive an email confirming their authorized access to the Spotfire Download site.
Each account is allotted a limited number of users who can access and download purchased software. You may want to review the list of users in your account and remove any users who have left your organization or moved into new roles.
As an admin, you can block a user’s download access by removing the user from accounts that you administer.

Locate the user in the list and click the remove button, the red circle with a minus. To remove the user (revoke download privileges) from all your accounts, then repeat steps 2-4 for each of your accounts.
You cannot edit the email for a user. Simply remove all privileges for the incorrect email and it will be removed from the list. Then create a new user with the correct email.
