You need to use, .sh or tar ball installer. And there is an option to choose the license with testrunner utility. Try ReadyAPI-<version>/bin/testrunner.sh -help

    Thanks for your reply!

     

    I've been using 'ReadyAPI-1.5.0-linux-bin.tar.gz' installer and seems that part is right. Also tried 'testrunner.sh -help'.  Following is the only line I found applicable to installation of license.

     

    -l <arg> Installs an activated license file

     

    The trouble I'm having is, there is no indication in help regarding how to get the floating license from my license server. For a GUI based activation of license I used to open the licence wiazrd and provide the ip address / host url of the license sever which worked perfectly. But I still have no clue on how to use the license server via a putty terminal.

     

    Would you be a able to give an example command to activate floating license from license server?

     

    Appreciate your help.

     

    Thanks & Regards,

      gilugopi, I believe that you might already have an activated license using the license that you had received.
      The command clearly says (as per the '-l' option description.
      ./testrunner.sh -l <absolute file path of license file>.

      Please apply it and run some small test then post your findings. Sounds good?
