This page is related to file-based licenses — a legacy license type used in ReadyAPI 3.46. This license type will be sunsetted from October 2023. For information on the current ID-based license type, see SmartBear ID-based Licenses.
The command-line License Manager can install licenses in silent mode.
-
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/. -
Open license-manager.bat (or the .sh file on Linux and macOS) in any text editor.
-
Add the required system properties to the JAVA_OPTS variable. Here are the properties you need to specify:
-
licenseFilePath – the path to the license file.
-
firstName – your first name.
-
lastName – your last name.
-
email – your email.
-
-
Run the License Manager script file with the
-c
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 -c -
If you use Java 12 installed in your operating system, perform the following command:
license-manager.bat -c
-
The License Manager will activate the specified license. You will not have to perform any additional actions.
