Important Notice for ReadyAPI Customers
Starting from ReadyAPI 3.62.0, VirtServer 3.29.0, and TestEngine 1.34.0, SmartBear has deprecated file-based licenses in favor of the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. As of October 1, 2025, file-based licenses are no longer issued, activated/deactivated, or supported; all new and updated licenses are managed through SLM. For further information and timelines, refer to the File-Based License End-of-Life Policy page.
To make a license available to users, you must assign that license to the users created on your Licensing Server. You can create user accounts in the Licensing Server Management Console or modify the configuration file in which the server stores information on user accounts. Additionally, you can assign the license to a user account registered on an LDAP server. The topics of this section describe all these approaches.
