IBExpert Portable 64-bit: The Mobile IDE for Firebird & InterBase

IBExpert is a powerful, feature-rich Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and administration tool for Firebird and InterBase databases. While the standard version requires installation, the Portable 64-bit version offers unique advantages for database administrators and developers on the move.

Is It Legal? Licensing Concerns

IBExpert is commercial software (excluding the free "SE" edition). Creating a portable version for your personal licensed copy is generally acceptable. However, distributing a cracked or pre-activated portable version is software piracy.

  • If you own a license: You can legally create a portable copy for your own use on multiple workstations you own.
  • For commercial environments: Each DBA using the tool needs a license, regardless of whether it is installed or portable.
