    There has to be either TC or TE installed on that other machine.  This is what does the actual test execution.  Without one of those two applications installed on that other machine, there's no way of running the tests over there.

     

    With a copy of TC or TE installed over there, you can then utilize the Network Suite feature to execute the test on the remote box but you do need the install on the remote box.

Yes we currently have 2 floating Test Complete licenses.

Should I install the test complete on the other machine ?


Is it possible somehow to tell to my project suite to be executed against the other machine without installing the TC there as well ?

      The easiest solution: Copy the project suite folder to the other machine.  You can then execute on that other machine.
