Hi Madhavisri,
According to my understanding:
> 1.If I have to execute Test Scripts on 10 VM machines simultaneously(Different Os's with Named+Test Execute Licenses combination)Can I use Network Suite in Test complete for test execution in VM Machines?
Yes, this should be possible.
Note: "[...] Different Os's with Named+Test Execute Licenses combination [...]" -- TestExecute uses Float license only and TestComplete with Named license cannot be installed on the virtual machine. This made your quoted phrase not completely clear for me. But you should be able (to save the number of licenses) to execute a Network Suite that involves 10 slaves several of which are executed by TestExecute with Float license on the VM and several of which are executed by TestComplete with Named license on the physical boxes.
> 2.Is it mandatory that I have to buy 10 Test Execute licenses for executing test scripts in 10 VM machines?
Yes, if you need to run all 10 machines simultaneously.
> [...] Can I use 3 Test Execute licenses and execute test scripts in 3 rounds?Does that work?
Yes, this should be possible (not in 3, but in 4 rounds: 3+3+2+2). You will have to modify the Network Suite so that correct Jobs/Tasks were executed for each round.
