Can I use TestComplete on Cloud Computers?
Cloud computers are virtual machines. Hence, using TestComplete on cloud computers is similar to how you use it on virtual machines. For more information on using TestComplete on virtual machines, please read the FAQ answer to the question
Can I use TestComplete on virtual machines?
For TestComplete trials, we don’t recommend that you activate them on cloud computers, despite the fact that trial licenses can be activated on virtual machines. The reason is that TestComplete’s licensing subsystem “binds” the license to the physical computer, on which a virtual machine is running. The cloud engine automatically selects a physical computer for running cloud machines. If the engine runs your cloud computer on different physical computer than what the license was bound to, the licensing module will block the license and you will not be able to use it. If your license is blocked this way, please
contact our sales team for assistance.
If you need to run tests on cloud computers, as a means of distributed testing, please activate TestComplete on a workstation in your network and use TestExecute to run tests on cloud computers. To realize this configuration, you will need to have a VPN connection to the cloud machine. For details, see
Using TestComplete in Cloud Computing.
Can I move a TestComplete license from one computer to another?
Yes, you can. Moving a license includes two steps:
Deactivate the license on the computer where it is currently activated
Activate the license it on another computer.
