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.
To use ReadyAPI, you need a trial or commercial license for one or more of ReadyAPI tools: Test, Performance, or Virtualization.
ReadyAPI uses licenses of two types:
SmartBear ID-based— These licenses don't require license keys or files. To run the product, a user needs to specify their SmartBear account.
File-based— These licenses involve using a license file from SmartBear. You apply that file on your computer to activate the license, or you consume the license from the license server that is running in your network, and that is licensed with this file.
