    Thank you, the link you provided answers some parts of my question. Here is what's still open.

     

    1.  How to check out soap ui license at run time when running via Maven plugin on Jenkins? In the documentation provided there is no mention of providing license server ip/ hostname in POM.xml. 

     

    Probably I can use license manager in a linux shell to activate the license. 

     

    2. Accoding to the floating license documentation, license is release back to the server when Ready API is closed. In case of batch execution, I guess that means when testrunner.bat/sh finishes execution. But what happens if the client is shutdown or lose network connection to server during the middle of execution? Will the license get automatically released after a certain time of inactivity or will it remain locked to the client. In a cloud enviornment, if client is killed we can get hold of the same client again to release conneciton.

     

    Please help get answers for this too.

     

    Thanks,
