HCL license portal

Licensing for HCL DevOps Test Hub (Test Hub) is administered through HCLSoftware License & Download portal. This portal is a FlexNet-based web application that helps to manage software entitlements and licenses.

Important: The HCL Software License & Download portal (FlexNet Operations Cloud) will be deprecated in September 2024. However, all the DevOps product licenses and downloads obtained before September 2024 will be available in FlexNet Operations Cloud until June 2025.

When a software order is placed and acknowledged, a software entitlement is created. You must then follow the instructions in the Software Order Acknowledgment document that you receive to activate your entitlement, create devices, and download the software from the portal.

The license portal provides both software distribution and management of your software entitlements that are purchased from HCLSoftware. The portal provides control and flexibility on how to consume your licenses. An organization identifies one of its resources as a License Manager (also called Tech or Portal Admin) who is familiar with the language of licenses.
