    Hi Simon,


     


    When configuring the NetworkSuite settings, specify what product will be used to execute tests - TestComplete or TestExecute. So, to answer your questions:


    - Will it run TestExecute ?


    if you specify TestComplete to execute tests, the master computer will wait for TestComplete.


     


    - Will it wait for TC licenses to become available ? Is there a timeout ?


    It will wait for ~90 sec. If the license isn't available when this timeout is over, the test execution will be stopped.


     


    Actually, we are using a third-party licensing system developed by Sentinel HASP. I know that they provide API for their product. So, I suppose that it's possible to use it to check whether the license is available on the needed computer or not. You can google it.
