Exporting and Importing Licenses

Applies to ReadyAPI 3.44.1, last modified on March 24, 2023

This page is related to file-based licenses — a legacy license type used in ReadyAPI 3.44.1. This license type will be sunsetted from October 2023. For information on the current ID-based license type, see SmartBear ID-based Licenses.

Exporting a license

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 got the file with the exported license, you can activate the license on another computer by specifying that file.

Notes:

  • 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:

Importing a license
