TestEngine Licenses
Important Notice for TestEngine Customers
Starting from ReadyAPI 3.62.0, VirtServer 3.29.0, and TestEngine 1.34.0, SmartBear Product Family has fully deprecated file-based licenses and transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. As of October 1, 2025, file-based licenses are no longer issued, activated/deactivated, or supported; all new and updated licenses are managed through SLM. For further information and timelines, refer to the File-Based License End-of-Support Policy page.
From version 1.34.0 onwards, TestEngine supports only SmartBear ID-based licenses. These licenses don't require license keys or files. To run the product, you need to specify your SmartBear account.
File-based licenses (Deprecated): These licenses involve using a SmartBear license file. You apply that file on your computer to activate the license, or you consume the license from the license server running in your network, which is licensed with this file.
For details about deprecation timelines, support status, and required actions, see the Important Notice for TestEngine Customers.
