Hi tusar
thanks for helping
but actually we have not installed soapui directly on jenkins machine
because we use Java/JUnit, all required SoapUI JAR files are beeing deployed to the jenkins machine
therefore we'd like to activate the licence without an additional installing of the soapui software
Currently we are trying with providing parameters :
-Duser.home=/var/lib/jenkins -Dsoapui.home='/var/lib/jenkins/.soapui'
but it doesn't work yet

Yes, this is the point
We have activated and registered our pro licence. Therefore we started:
java -jar ready-api-license-manager-1.0.jar -f <keyfile>
At the end of this dialogue appears:
Provide the path to the activation file (activate.key) from the response to proceed:
activate.key
License has been installed successfully for SoapUI NG!
Sounds good, isn't it?
But when running the tests under the same user with Java
SoapUIProTestCaseRunner, we receive: "No valid SoapUI NG license exists."

Information for all:
ready-api-license-manager-1.0.jar is quite buggy (openend already a bug ticket, has been accepted, solution will be provided)
You should NEVER EVER enter a wrong activate.key file-path.
Without a feedback from licence-manager, it's simply asking again (but then you're already lost)
The second time, you might enter the filepath correctly, the filemanager will respond with:
"License has been installed successfully for SoapUI NG!"
But no more message. This is wrong, too.
The licence has not been installed.
(When it would be really installed correctly, it would write out more messages)
You can check it the easy way with ready-api-license-manager-1.0.jar -i
with -i it will print out licence information
When -i is asking for a licence key, the licence is not installed.
So for the moment: case is solved, but ticket is open
