Concurrent Instances of Floating Users

Hello,



We have a floating user license of TestComplete Enterprise. The number of licenses are 20 and we run tests on all our computers through command line in silent mode. I understand that TestComplete can be installed on a 100 computers but only 20 instances can run concurrently. Can anyone please tell me where to look in the License Manager PC for the number of TestComplete instances running at any given point of time. Also, it would be really nice if someone can tell what happens when a user (say, 21st computer) tries to run a test when all available licences are consumed (20 in my case) - will the test fail to trigger or will it wait for a license to be available - is there a specific exit code?

    Hi,

    You can try using the following approach:

    1. Open the http://localhost:1947/_int_/products.html page in your internet browser.

    2. Select the "TestComplete" line that contains the License Manager name in the Location column.

    3. Click the Features button in the Action column of the line selected on the step 2.

    4. Find the line that corresponds to the 201 Feature ID.

    5. The Logins column of the line selected on the step 4 contains the needed number.


    Perhaps, there is easier way to do what you need, but I know only this one :)


    ... will the test fail to trigger or will it wait for a license to be available - is there a specific exit code?


    TestComplete will show an error message informing that all available instances are currently running.  The test execution will be terminated.

    Hi,



    Liang: Thanks for the url.



    Irina: Thanks for the detailed steps - I found what I was looking for. Also, I need to do the same for TestExecute - can you please tell me it's Feature ID?
