'Invalid address' and 'Unable to launch a remote instance of TestComplete (TextExecute)' issues

I am encountering an issue with Networksuite during distributed testing.

With one master machine and 2 slave machines, Networksuite can't recognize host addresses which are of the same domain with the master machine.
Error is "Invalid address"
Then, I disable the firewall of the machines.
Afterwhich, this error- 'Unable to launch a remote instance of TestComplete (TextExecute)' occurs.
Is this a limitation of trial version or just a problem with configuration?
 
thank you :)

    If i encounter Issues with my Networksuite I normaly do this steps:

     

    1. Ping the Target Machine from TestComplete Host.

    2. Verify Machine in Hosts List.

    3. Connect via Remote Desktop From TC Host to Target Machine.

    4. Open Services and make sure TC Service is running. (I had a lot of issues with this)

     

    If everything is positive, the machine should be Testable.

      Good Day :)

       

      I have also worked on those steps as well already, but still the issue persisted.

      I can ping the slave machines from the master machine but when I add another host from Networksuite,

      no host addresses can be found.

        So Step 2 Fails?

         

        Can you open an Remote Desktop Connection from the Host to the Target Machine?

        Make sure all Requirements as stated in the Documentation are met.

    The trial version should fully support everything.  However, you do need to have TestComplete or TestExecute installed on all machines involved in your Network Suite.  If you don't have them installed on the slave machines, you could get the message you are receiving.

      Hello Sir!

      Thank you for your reply.

      It was a relief to know that the trial version supports everything.

      Regarding the installation of TestComplete and TestExecute in the machines involved in the NetworkSuite,

      my master machine has TestComplete running and my 2 slave machines do have TestExecute in them.

      Still the problem exists.

      Do you know any workaround for this?

       

      Again, thank you! :)
