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.

You can use the command-line License Manager to get information about your installed license.

Download the License Manager from the SmartBear website.

Note: The License Manager requires Java 12. You can use Java shipped with ReadyAPI or download the required version from https://jdk.java.net/archive/.
To get license information, run the License Manager .bat (or .sh on Linux and macOS) file with the -i option.
- For example, if you use Java shipped with ReadyAPI, perform the following commands:
  
  cd <ReadyAPI directory>\jre\bin
  <path to license manager>\license-manager.bat -i
- If you use Java 12 installed in your operating system, perform the following command:
  
  license-manager.bat -i
The License Manager will ask you to select what license information (ReadyAPI Test, ReadyAPI Performance or ReadyAPI Virtualization) you want to get. Specify the license by entering the relevant number.
The following information will be displayed:
- Licensed Tool
- License Number
- License Type
- Issue Date
- Expiration Date
