Licensing Runtime and workspaces
If I develop my test cases from a workstation with a node-locked license, then run itestcli tests on a lab machine that uses a floating license scheme, how will the licensing work? If I point to my workspace when running itestcli, will it attempt to use my node-locked license? If so, is there a way to specify which license server to use with itestcli?
Hi Kumar,
What do you mean by
"If you are running Web or Swing tests, itestcli will launch iTest in GUI mode which will require at least a "iTestRunTime" product license. The way you will configure this license is by launching iTest on that machine, configuring the product license and quitting. Once that is set up, itestcli can launch iTest in GUI mode to run Web and Swing tests"

You need to set up license when using itestcli only if you are using Web and Swing applications.
If you running testcases containing other applications, there is no need to set up any license.
If you want to run web and swing application testcases, itestcli launches iTest GUI and you configure the license in the iTest GUI as usual.
itestcli does not perform any licensing checks.
itestcli simply launches iTest in the background to execute tests.
iTest requires a minimum of iTestRunTime product license to execute UI tests: Web, Swing.
iTest does not require any license to run applications which can execute their testcases without UI.
So - if you are running telnet, tcl, ssh, snmp, etc..., there is no need to configure any licensing when using itestcli.
If you are running Web or Swing tests, itestcli will launch iTest in GUI mode which will require at least a "iTestRunTime" product license. The way you will configure this license is by launching iTest on that machine, configuring the product license and quitting. Once that is set up, itestcli can launch iTest in GUI mode to run Web and Swing tests.
