    Nope, you can run with Test Complete, and would only need the mobile license if you're testing mobile applications from it.

    I might be wrong but I think the TestComplete Jenkins plugin requires Mobile license or TestExecute. Is that correct?

        Thanks! I was able to run tests using the Jenkins plugin.

         

        My original problem of triggering the command line run from Jenkins still not resolved, this approach works fine for other tools (DevTest, UFT. Selenium) not sure why TestComplete would not find the license. Also not able to use Jenkins service on windows is seems a limitation to me. Wondering if Smartbear would be considering these for future release or if there exists a better approach to consider for unattended execution?

      But note that even this plug-in will not do all the magic :) and it is still your responsibility to provide interactive not locked user session for TestComplete and tested application.
