Important Notice for ReadyAPI Customers |
ReadyAPI has fully transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. We strongly encourage users still utilizing file-based licensing, including key-based and ProtectionLS floating licenses, to migrate before the September 1, 2024 deadline to avoid commercial impact. Please be aware that support for file-based licensing has ended and technical support is no longer available, which may lead to unresolved technical issues.
If you cannot migrate from file-based licensing before September 1, 2024, it is crucial to contact your SmartBear representative immediately to align with our deprecation plans and avoid disruptions. Additionally, retaining file-based licenses for any solution expansions or renewals after this date will result in a service charge of up to 30% of the renewal or expansion invoice value to cover the extension costs. To avoid these charges, please initiate your migration now.
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.

Upcoming Enhancements to ReadyAPI Documentation Experience |
In the coming weeks, we will be updating the ReadyAPI product documentation to provide a more streamlined and consistent user experience across our entire product portfolio. While retaining all essential information, the updated documentation will feature a fresh design that makes it easier to navigate, read, and utilize.
The new documentation experience will offer several key benefits:
- Enhanced panel structure and navigation: A reorganized layout for quicker, more intuitive access to content.
- Improved search capabilities: Find information faster with a more powerful and precise search function.
- Better usability: Simplified viewing and expanding of sections, making it easier to locate and understand relevant details.
ReadyAPI 3.58.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous product version – ReadyAPI 3.57.0. For information on the changes made to other versions, see Version History.

SmartBear has made a number of library updates in ReadyAPI 3.57.0 and 3.58.0 which will require a TestEngine update to 1.32.0 for compatibility. TestEngine is currently incompatible with projects created in ReadyAPI 3.57.0 and 3.58.0. TestEngine 1.32.0 will support the updates and ReadyAPI 3.57.0 and 3.58.0 and will release the week of January 27th, 2025. We advise any customers planning to execute ReadyAPI projects in TestEngine to hold off on updating to ReadyAPI 3.57.0 or 3.58.0 until they can also update TestEngine at the end of January. |
