Already gone through this documentation documenation as well. Given below is my past experience with the tool
Ready API has two types of licenses
1. Fixed License ( This is NOT the type of license I'm trying to install)
This one requires a license file which need can be used to activate license on the machine where you install ready api client. But this license can be used on only machine at a time.
The command which you mentioned above './testrunner.sh -l <absolute file path of license file>.' works perfectly for fixed licnese, but that's not what I'm trying to do( Because at the moment, I'm left with only floating license and that type of license meets my current organization needs)
2. Floating License( This is the one my question is about)
A license server is required from where licenses need to be checked out from a license server as mentioned in below link. License server is working fine on my side. I'm able to activate floating licenses on windows machine using the process in below link. But don't know how to fetch license from license server without the user interface through command line.I guess there has to a a way to pass license server url to testrunner.sh as parameter.

Also I've attached the log from my execution. In the log, testrunner correctly identifies that I don't have an active license on my machine and requests to provide the license file. But no option to provide license server url to check out a floating license. Now I'm wondering whether if there is a way to get floating license also as a file.
Appreciate your continued reply..
What happens after below line (excerpt from the log)
Please enter absolute path of the license file (.zip or .key):
Did you enter path of license file? Then?

No I did not enter the license file as I don't have a license file( Earlier I've done that for other machines for which I have a fixed license). In this case I'm trying to use a floating license.
In this case, when the system prompted for license file I just tried the license server URL(even through I was almost certain it won't work) and it didn't work.
If providing a license file is the only option via command line, is there a way to get a license file for floating license from the server?

Did you look at this page by any chance? This is what you needed, I believe.

Yes, already looked at that. To add to the complexity, the linux account which need to run my scripts is a local account and hence can't use it to log on to a machine with GUI.
