When a software order is placed and acknowledged, a software entitlement is created for the user. You can then create devices and map the software entitlement with the devices through the HCL® License & Delivery portal. Every device is associated to a server ID. This server ID is applied in the product. Multiple software entitlements can be created based on the requirements.

You can use any of these licenses according to your requirements:

Product licenses

Floating license to use the product:
To use the product, you need a HCL OneTest™ UI floating license or you can also use a HCL OneTest™ Studio floating license. A floating license is checked out when you use the product and is returned to HCL® License & Delivery portal when the license is not used for 15 minutes.
Floating licenses for test extensions:
For HCL OneTest™ Performance, in addition to the license for product usage, if you use SOA, SAP, Citrix, and Siebel test extensions, you need separate software entitlements. You can map all the entitlements to one server ID. With HCL OneTest™ Studio license, you can use the above test extensions without the need for separate entitlements. A license is checked out from the time the product is opened by the user. The license remains checked out until the user closes the product. When the user closes the product, after 15 minutes, the license is returned to the HCL® License & Delivery portal.
