IBM® WebSphere® Application Server is the IBM implementation for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) platform. WebSphere Application Server is available in unique packages that meet a wide range of customer requirements. Each package has its own unique characteristics, but at the core of all of them is the same runtime application server environment.
The run time that is traditionally available with the WebSphere Application Server is referred to as the full profile. The application serving run time, provided by the full profile, is composed of a wide spectrum of components that are always available in the application server.
Starting with WebSphere Application Server V8.5, a Liberty profile is included with each edition. Starting with V8.5.5, a new Liberty Core package is available. You can also download the Liberty profile from WASdev.net at the following website:

The Liberty profile is an efficient development platform. It also scales up to massive, centrally managed production topologies, allowing you to use the same run time, and one set of management skills, for all your application server environments.
An important change to the license of the Liberty profile download occurred as of the WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5.5 release. You can now use the Liberty profile at no cost under the following listed conditions:
