Setting up licenses for DevOps Test Integrations and APIs

Before you can start using HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), you must set up and apply the licenses.

You must apply the licenses that you purchased by using any of the following methods that is based on the network set up and the operating system:

When you use Test Integrations and APIs or the non-GUI applications such as RunTests or IntegrationTesterCmd, a Test Integrations and APIs floating seat license is consumed. This is a portable license that is consumed on-demand, enabling several users and applications to time-share a license. With this license, you can open a project, view, edit, and run resources on the computer on which you have installed Test Integrations and APIs. When you close the application, this seat is released within 15 minutes.

Note: If the license is not used for 15 minutes, the license is returned to the License server for others to consume it. If the product loses connectivity to the HCL® License & Delivery portal, you can use the product for two hours only if the server ID that you entered last time is correct.

You must add the License Server as an environment variable on the computer on which you want to run the Test Integrations and APIs assets. You might want to run the assets on any of the following computers:

On which you have installed Test Integrations and APIs.
On which you have installed Docker.
On which you have installed Test Integrations and APIs Agent, if the computer is different from the one on which you installed Test Integrations and APIs.

Configure the environment variables as described in the following table:


Environment variable	Description	Value
