I have just used the xml file as input to the license update wizard, and it now says "Update written successfully".
So now I think I understand the license activation process. The problem is that I have activated the floating user license on the wrong machine. Now my development PC is the license manager PC. That is not what I want. I need to find an obsolete machine that I can add into my test lab network as the License Manager PC, dedicated to managing AQA licenses. I need to make my development machine not a license manager PC, and transfer the role to the dedicated machine. Is there a mechanism for doing this?
What is the recommended process to follow if the License Manager PC fails? If the hard drive on the License Manager PC is replaced?
Please recommend a licensing regime for this scenario:
An office has a dedicated software testing lab, with four slave machines and a TestComplete server.
A tester creates test cases on her laptop, and runs them one at a time to verify them.
As test cases are verified, the tester adds them to the regression test suite, and transfers them to a software testing lab.
The software testing lab runs regressions tests overnight.
Tests that produce unexpected results are repeated on the tester's laptop for investigation.
