Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use TestComplete on virtual machines? A. You can run TestComplete on virtual machines. However, you cannot activate licenses there. For Node-Locked licenses (aka Named User licenses) this means that this license type does not work on virtual machines. As for Floating User licenses, you can activate a license on a physical computer and then install and run TestComplete instances on virtual machines. These virtual machines must have a network connection to the License Manager PC (that is, to the physical computer, which you activated the license on). If you own a Node-Locked license and want to use TestComplete on virtual machines, please consider an upgrade to a Floating User license. Owners of TestComplete Enterprise Node-Locked licenses have one more option: the Enterprise edition is shipped along with TestExecute. You can install this TestExecute instance on a virtual machine and use it to run your test projects there. Q. Can I activate my TestComplete license on a computer that is not connected to the Internet? A. Yes, you can. You need to exchange data with the AutomatedQA web site manually. To do this, you should find another computer that has a working Internet connection and a network connection to your computer. This computer will be an intermediary between your computer and the Smartbear web site. Q. Do I need a license server for Floating User licenses? A. Yes. When purchasing Floating User licenses, you get the License Manager utility that can be installed on the server computer and manage the license usage. Also, the license management modules are included in the TestComplete package. So, you can install a TestComplete instance on the server and activate the license on it. Q. Can I use TestComplete on Cloud Computers? A. Cloud computers are virtual machines. Hence, using TestComplete on cloud computers is similar to how you use it on virtual machines. For more information on using TestComplete on virtual machines, please read the FAQ answer to the question Can I use TestComplete on virtual machines? For TestComplete trials, we don’t recommend that you activate them on cloud computers, despite the fact that trial licenses can be activated on virtual machines. The reason is that TestComplete’s licensing subsystem “binds” the license to the physical computer, on which a virtual machine is running. The cloud engine automatically selects a physical computer for running cloud machines. If the engine runs your cloud computer on different physical computer than what the license was bound to, the licensing module will block the license and you will not be able to use it. If your license is blocked this way, please contact our sales team for assistance. If you need to run tests on cloud computers, as a means of distributed testing, please activate TestComplete on a workstation in your network and use TestExecute to run tests on cloud computers. To realize this configuration, you will need to have a VPN connection to the cloud machine. For details, see Using TestComplete in Cloud Computing. Q. Can I move a TestComplete license from one computer to another? A. Yes, you can. Moving a license includes two steps: Deactivate the license on the computer where it is currently activated. Activate the license it on another computer.

Compare License Types

Experior provides two TestComplete license types:

The Node-locked User license
The Node-locked User license will support TestComplete use on a single computer in your network. You can only run one instance of TestComplete on the licensed computer at a time.

The Floating User license
The Floating User license will support TestComplete use on multiple computers in your network. The number of concurrent instances of TestComplete running at any one time may no exceed the number of floating seats licensed.

To activate licenses and control their usage, TestComplete employs a License Manager. For a Node-Locked license, the License Manager is installed along with TestComplete, while the Floating User license, a License Manager can be installed along with TestComplete or as a standalone utility on another computer like a server.

Please note that Node-Locked licenses cannot be activated on virtual machines. For Floating User licenses this means that you can run TestComplete on virtual machines, but you cannot use virtual machines for hosting the license manager. If you need to run automated tests on virtual-machines, you have to either use the Floating User license, or use TestExecute
