Important Notice for ReadyAPI Customers
ReadyAPI has fully transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. We are now moving into the final phase of deprecation of file-based licenses. Customers still using file-based licensing need to plan for migration to SLM before September 30, 2025.
If you are still in the process of migrating or have yet to start, contact your Account Manager or SmartBear representative today. Our teams are ready to assist with smooth transition strategies. For additional support, please log a request with our Customer Care Team, who are standing by to help.
For further information and timelines, please refer to this page.
Exporting a license means you make a backup of your license. You export a license during the product deactivation – you simply save the license information to a file. After you get the file with the exported license, you can activate the license on another computer by specifying that file.
Note
Exporting works for fixed licenses only.
License deactivation disables the Pro features of the tool. If you disable a license for some of the ReadyAPI tools, and if you do not have a Pro license for at least one other tool, you will not be able to use ReadyAPI.
To learn how to deactivate your license, see these instructions:
You can activate (import) an exported license on another computer. To do this, simply specify your exported license file when activating the license. For information on license activation, see these topics:
