TestComplete - CrossbrowserTesting

I have seen this article before and the article says 

 

Prepare Jenkins nodes to run tests in CrossBrowserTesting environments

TestComplete must be installed on your Jenkins nodes. TestExecute cannot run tests in CrossBrowserTesting environments.

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/jenkins/requirements-and-li...

 

Why we cannot run the CBT tests through TestExecute ?

 

Currently we are running our local tests on TestExecute machines through Jenkins - jenkins nodes . Why CBT tests cannot be done this way ?

 

Please Update 

 

Thanks

      Finally got the updates from the support team

      . Currently, only TestComplete can work with CrossBrowserTesting.com. This is a product management decision. 
      There are no plans to add this feature to TestExecute at the moment. 

       

      Now my questions is Can TestComplete be installed on the same VM machines where testExecute is ? We do have floating license for testComplete . 

       

      We are running our local tests on TestExecute machines through Jenkins.

      Now we are planning to run CBT tests on testComplete floating license through Jenkins. So TestComplete and TestExecute can co exist together in the same virtual machine .

       

      Please update 

       

      Thanks

        Yes, TestComplete and TestExecute can be on the same machine.  Be sure that they are the same version.
