You activate the licenses in the same way. You can use the license activation wizard that pops up when TestComplete can't find the license it needs, or you can download the SmartBear License Manager and use that to activate licenses, or you can use "Help | Activate or Deactivate License..." from a running instance of TestComplete.
Of course, you need a version 11 license to run TestComplete 11. (Version 8 licenses only work with TestComplete 8.)

Please provide me the solution for my scenario.
Present i am having desktop license and test complete plat form of version -8,i going to buy web license(present available versio is 11.2).
can i work with both modules(web + desktop ) in single instance of test complete.
can i upgrade version - 8 to version-11
As mentioned elsewhere, TestComplete 8 and TestComplete 11 are separate. You cannot take the web module (or license) from TestComplete 11 and use it in TestComplete 8. You will either have to use all of TestComplete 8 or TestComplete 11.
You can only purchase a version 11 license. Which licenses you have to purchase and whether you can actually still get a license for TestComplete 8 (if that is what you want) is a conversation you will have to have with a Sales Representative.
One thing you can do right now is sign up for a free TestComplete trial. This will give you a chance to try TestComplete 11 (with all the licenses) for 30 days. Sign up for your free trial here: TestComplete Trial
Present test complete - 8 web license is available?
Hi,
I would recommend to contact your sales representative using the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form and ask them about possible options.
However, TestComplete 8 is a pretty old version and a) a lot of cross-browser improvements were implemented in TestComplete since version 9; and b) browsers itself were changed significantly and you will not be able to create web tests for the modern browsers with TestComplete 8.
So, unless you need to create web tests for the browser versions that were actual during TestComplete 8 times, there is no reason to buy web license for TestComplete 8 even if such license is available.
My recommendation is to consider latest TestComplete with Web license and, maybe, continue to use TestComplete 8 for desktop tests. Though all this can be discussed with SmartBear Sales.
