Not able to install TestComplete

Hi Team,

 

I need to install TestComplete12 on my system. For the installation, i am using following steps:

1. I sign up the trial version from using the URL https://smartbear.com/product/testcomplete/free-trial/

2. Download starts automatically I got a mail on my email address to download the TestComplete executable but did not get any licence key to activate the free trial.

3. Once the testcomplete has finished downloading, i run the installer and follow the instructions on the screen.

4. Once the installation is finished, Testcomplete does not start and no Welcome dialogue appears. Instead i get the following error.

 

 

 

My Question is now,

1. From where we can get the licence key to activate free trial for 30 days? - Not getting licence key from email. 

2. I am getting above error after installation. -Please help me out to find if something is missing.

 

 

Please suggest.

Thanks in Advance.

    Hey @Anh Vu,

    Can you confirm your nonAPI testing experience.....assuming 5 minimum testing other phases...e.g. functional, uat, oat, performance, security?

    Im always a fan of doing rather than reading....bit for api testing the subject requires a fair bitof additional knowledge...likewise the readyapi! UI is not as intuitive as it could be.

    Using performance as an example. There are 2 concepts in perf that are used quite extensively.

    'Pacing' and 'think time'. 2 simple concepts that change everything in a perf test when they are used. Without appreciating those 2 concepts would totally alter my understanding of a perf test that used them.

    Hence im suggesting a lot of initial reading! Just my opinion.....no doubt it differs tremendously from everyone else's! :)

     

    oh - I think Tanya or msiadak created a pinned post about getting started  with ReadyAPI! - its here - so I'd suggest looking at this before going anywhere else I suppose as this is probably a good start

    Cheers,

    Rich
