Does iTest 5.3 support STCv 4.62 virtual license controller?

With STCv 4.62, the virtual license controller is configured on the GUI. When I use iTest 5.3 to run a test case with STCv ports, it erases the license controller setting. To run the test again, I have to reconfigure the virtual license controller address on the GUI. Is there a special setting for the virtual license controller address on iTest 5.3?

Yes, the system variable (SPIRENTD_LICENSE_FILE) fixes the STCv license controller error on iTest. I am able to run the STCv test multiple times now. However, it still erases the virtual license server setting on the STC GUI. Thanks.

Hello Rico [@ricocheng],

In response to your questions, you can check the points below.

Does iTest 5.3 support STCv 4.62 virtual license controller?

Officially, the documentation states that iTest supports up to STC 4.56. However, you can try using STCv 4.62 as well. (We have used it and not found any issues so far)

Is there a special setting for the virtual license controller address on iTest 5.3?

For ensuring that the STC Virtual license is set by default, you will have to follow the steps below:

  • Create a new system variable "SPIRENTD_LICENSE_FILE" in MyComputer (Right click) -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> New/Edit (if it already exists)
  • Set the value of the variable SPIRENTD_LICENSE_FILE as variable value : @server IP address (for example SPIRENTD_LICENSE_FILE: @server 1.1.1.1)

Once this has been done and saved, you can open iTest and run the STC session with virtual license.

Please try this and let us know if it works.
