Important Notices for ReadyAPI Customers:
-
In 12 months, file-based licensing will no longer be available and will be fully replaced by SmartBear ID-based licensing - SmartBear ID-based licenses are a new license management option that we started using in ReadyAPI 3.8.1. It is more reliable and convenient than the license type used in the previous product versions. This notice is to alert all users that the previous licensing model will be retired in October 2023. As we approach this milestone, we're actively encouraging customers to transition over, and now is the time to start planning that transition. You should engage with your SmartBear Account Manager immediately to understand the steps involved in transitioning and get started. Please read here to learn more.
