Licensing In Private Network
About on-premises licenses
Starting from TestEngine 1.28 release, SmartBear ID-based licenses are controlled by the License Servers hosted on your premises. Once configured correctly, TestEngine connects to this server to check whether a license is available. Once a license is available, it will be requested, assigned, and installed.
The term on-premises indicates that the license is controlled by a server running in your private network. This differs from an online license, which is managed by the SmartBear license server available online.
Notes
An on-premises license is bound to the On-Premises License Server. This is the default SmartBear ID-based license option for TestEngine starting with version 1.28.
To move and use the license on another computer, you need to uninstall it on the current one. For details, see Uninstalling On-Premises Licenses.
