Support is only available for Sun Java System Message Queue and you must pay the license fee as well as the support fee.
You can obtain a supportable copy from Solaris Enterprise System download.
Currently SJS MQ 4 is only supported as the JMS provider in Sun Java System Application Server 9.0 (PE). No supported stand-alone version is yet available. In general, we are not allowed to provide future release dates for any products.
If you have product issues, comments or problems you may post them here, or file issue tracker reports at mq.dev.java.net, though only "community" is available and there is no service guarantee available for this type of feedback.
That said, we are interested in your feedback or experience, so please don't hesitate to respond.
Thank you for your interest.

Are users required to enable the 90-day trial license to enable the "enterprise features" ? such as cluster broker ?

no. The 4.0 is enterprise ready and has no need of trial licenses. Being open source, that would be a strange thing to do... and fairly easy to disable, you have the source!

Thanks for the info. This information ( about not needing the trial-license to enable to enterprise features on 4.0 ) is not documented anywhere. So it might be good for others to know that it is not needed for 4.0.
Now that you mentioned it, I'll have another look at MQ 4.0 ( which I disregarded some days ago because all the docs that I can see says you need a trial-license )

Ahh ... the enterprise license is actually part of the binary:
[root@jsalvo-desktop mq]# bin/imqbrokerd -license
The following licenses are available:
Package - Description
unl- Sun Java(tm) System Message Queue 4.0 Enterprise Edition
std- Sun Java(tm) System Message Queue 4.0 Standard Edition
try- Sun Java(tm) System Message Queue 4.0 Trial Edition
pe- Sun Java(tm) System Message Queue 4.0 Platform Edition
To start the broker with a specific license,
use the parameter -license <package>, e.g.,
imqbrokerd -license unl
imqbrokerd -license try
imqbrokerd -license pe
So I guess one just needs to use "-license unl" command-line argument.

No, you don't need to do anything special, because probably that's the default. The problem is that the "official" docs.sun.com is for 3.6 and not for 4.0. AFAIK, no specific docs for 4.0 exists (I have found only the 4.0 release note http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5946 as part of the AS 9.0 docs)... besides that, the two releases are not that much different and the most of docs applies.
So the best advice is to download it and test it.
