Determine when no liscense is available using COM (python)

I am using a modified version of the script I found here to run TestComplete and TestExecute, related code follows:   from win32com.client import Dispatch import pywintypes ... try: ...
BDD
COM
Command Line
Python

There are too many blocking dialogs when running TestExecute (or TestComplete) via COM. There is a blocking dialog when there are no avaiable licenses, there's one to update TestExecute itself, and there's even one to update Firefox! 

 

When running TestExecute via the COM interface there is no way to know what has happened, the dialogs just block the Dispatch call. 

 

I can (try to (race condition)) to determine if there is a license available before running TestExecute. 

 

How can I prevent the other pop ups?

      This in no way solves my original problem, but was marked as the solution.
