Multi User access question
HI, Currently I have TestComplete 10.6 on my local workstation, as I now have a remote colleague we have had discussions about getting a license to install the software on a VM that we can both a...

I can't see how two users can use the same program instance, on the same machine, at the same time. Sounds impossible to me.
Be careful if you're using VM's as well. I have my node locked TestComplete IDE running in a VM. You need to have your license enabled to do it, and you need to be careful to set up the VM correctly. If things like the CPU-ID or MAC address of the virtual network adapter change, they can break the license association.
Thanks for your reply Colin, I tried to install it on a VM first time without realising the license implication and had issues and it raises further questions on my end about how we approach this moving forwards.
Yep.
I messed around with the configuration file/setup for the VM I'm using and it's never been used off my machine.
Even being VERY careful with it, the license association has still managed to get broken once since I set it up this way (a few months ago). I have no idea what I did to cause it as all the relevant identifiers *should* be nailed down on the VM.
So yeah, you can do it. But with great care. Even though I'm now using the IDE on a VM, I wouldn't recommend it to be honest.
Common problem with licensed software on VM's. By no means unique to TestComplete ....
