    Hi Christian_N_DK,

     

    I agree with AlexKaras - You need to control the License Manager installation and license activation on the License Manager PC (it doesn't take much time). Once you do this, you can go to the computer where the license will be used and specify the License Manager PC for the connection. To avoid specifying the License Manager PC on each computer where you run tests, you can simply copy the following configuration file from the first machine:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Aladdin Shared\HASP\hasplm.ini"

Hi Christian,

 

> I have preinstalled the license manager 

Actually, there is no need for this as the License Manager is included with TestExecute and is installed automatically. But yes, it might need to be configured depending on the configuration of your network and I am not sure if this configuration can be done unattended.

I would recommend to read License Manager documentation (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/licensing/how-to/general/using-testcomplete-on-virtual-machines.html and related topics).

You may ask Support directly via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form if you don't find the answer in the documentation.

 

Update:

> I am not sure if this configuration can be done unattended.

Many thanks to Tanya ( TanyaYatskovska ) for pointing out how this can be done!
