Nope, you can run with Test Complete, and would only need the mobile license if you're testing mobile applications from it.
If there any reason you're not using the plugin that provides the correct integration and trying to run via command manually?

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?
Hi,
> why TestComplete would not find the license.
Most probably, you need to adjust License Manager settings on the test machine as per https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/troubleshooting/fu-license-check-problems.html

Nothing to consider here for Smartbear. As said, the presence of interactive not locked user session is not something that is specific for TestComplete but is a generic Windows OS requirement that must be met for any UI application.
The same requirement exists, for example, for Selenium as well. Selenium test will fail if started for the real (i.e. not headless) browser in the locked user session or by the Selenium agent running as a service.
The only difference is that user session may be locked after the Selenium test is started. This is because Selenium does not mimic end-user activities with keyboard and mouse as TestComplete does, but emulates them via script code embedded into the tested web page.
Hi,
> Is that correct?
As Carson replied...
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.
