    Hi,

    I meant this license https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/general-info/licensing/id-based/index.html

    There are two types of float licenses: "file based" and "ID-based". I am currently working with "ID-based".

    In the latest version of docker container https: //hub.docker.com/r/smartbear/ready-api-soapui-testrunner/ which is released today ,there is a change in the EntryPoint.sh script that will allow you to work with this new license. However, the application itself in the docker continues to report the problem after launch.

    I did a workeround in which I forbade the application to look in the  linux folder "/proc" ,  thanks to which the application does not know that it runs in docker and everything finally works.

Hey tomasbocinec,

Could you clarify whst you mean by ID based licenses?

ReadyAPI supports 2 different licensing options.

1. Fixed term, per machine, per user
2. Floating licenses

Youll need the floater option for docker containers as its a non-persistent environment.

If you could just explain a bit more i'm sure someone will be able to answer

Cheers,

Rich

    Hi @tomasbocinec,

     

    I am also working with the ID-based license and this works fine if I run the ReadyAPI testrunner from regular Linux. But if I use the docker image (smartbear/ready-api-soapui-testrunner) then it fails.
    Can you explain your workaround to get the application work with this new license?
    You mentioned that you forbid the application to look in linux folder "/proc".
    Can you please explain how you did that?
    Maybe this will help me too.


    regards,
