Configure License Server

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.

ReadyAPI uses Protection! Licensing Server to control floating licenses. Topics of this section describe how to install and configure it.

Starting from version 3.3.1, ReadyAPI uses Protection! Licensing Server version 5. Earlier ReadyAPI versions used Protection! Licensing Server version 4. To learn how to update your License server, see Upgrade License Server to 5.x.
