How to block the test execute ID based floating license?

Question

please share details if you know how can i block the testexecute ID based floating license for running test complete tests through pipeline.

Known information:

when test execute application start it check the available license and then only open.
if license is not available application will not open.
In the pipeline VStest task will start the test execute appication, after running tests it will close the testexecute which will release the license

senario:

pipeline which will run 10 ATP test job, which has 10 VS tests task. currently there are 3 pipeline.
if pipeline 1 is running and completed 1 test job , meanwhile job 2 start the license will be consumed by the pipeline 2, hence due to this pipeline 1 job 2 is not having license and taking more time to complete the pipeline.

expectation:

block a license, complete pipeline 1 and then only license should available for the pipeline 2

Hello,
Contact your SmartBear Account Manager to change your TestExecute license as described in Licensing in Private Networks | TestComplete Documentation

Is it possible to block and unblock the license process on a private network using a custom script? Since this is required for the pipeline, can I release the license from the machine once the pipeline run is complete?

There are various license types that TestComplete support, see https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/index.html. But you need to contact your SmartBear Account Manager, as Hassan_Ballan has mentioned.

I don't claim that I fully understand description of the 3 pipeline and ATP test jobs, and I also realized that changing license type will not help.&nbsp;
Each TestExecute instance will occupy a license seat regardless of the license type, and in that case @parshchakurkar your options are:

Acquire additional licenses
Redesign/Restructure your pipeline ATP jobs to run in sequence and not in parallel
