Features Added to ReadyAPI 3.56.0
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.

Welcome to the New ReadyAPI Documentation Experience
We have updated the ReadyAPI product documentation to provide a more streamlined and consistent user experience across our entire product portfolio. While retaining all essential information, the updated documentation features a fresh design that makes it easier to navigate, read, and utilize.
The new documentation experience offers several key benefits:
Enhanced panel structure and navigation: A reorganized layout for quicker, more intuitive access to content.
Improved search capabilities: Find information faster with a more powerful and precise search function.
Better usability: Simplified viewing and expanding of sections, making it easier to locate and understand relevant details.
ReadyAPI 3.56.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous product version – ReadyAPI 3.55.0. For information on the changes made to other versions, see Version History.
