License Compatibility

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.

In ReadyAPI 1.5, license files have a different format. As a result, there are some compatibility issues.

Using licenses activated in ReadyAPI 1.5 or later

Licenses activated in ReadyAPI 1.5 or later are not compatible with ReadyAPI 1.4 or earlier and SoapUI Pro. To run tests in earlier versions of ReadyAPI:

  • Deactivate the license in the installed version. If you perform offline deactivation, make sure to send the deactivation email and receive a verification.

  • Activate the license in the version you are going to use.

The new license type is forward-compatible, so you do not need to deactivate it to run later versions of ReadyAPI.

Using licenses activated in ReadyAPI 1.4 or earlier

Licenses activated in ReadyAPI 1.4 and earlier are compatible with all ReadyAPI versions and with SoapUI Pro.
