Features Added to ReadyAPI 3.50.0
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.
ReadyAPI 3.50.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous product version – ReadyAPI 3.49.0. For information on the changes made to other versions, see Version History.
Note
SmartBear License Management's license authentication and request flows were revised in November 2023. Authentication using the username and password is no longer supported for test execution via TestRunners, Jenkins or Azure plugins, and SmartBear-hosted licenses. Username and password are limited to on-prem-hosted licenses only. Access Key is the required option for authentication if using SmartBear-hosted licenses headlessly.
General Updates
We released Jenkins ReadyAPI Functional Testing plugin 1.10 to ensure compatibility with SmartBear License Management's updated authentication and request flows from November 2023.
ReadyAPI users can now download all available logs from the current session as a ZIP file.
We upgraded Groovy libraries to version 3.X.
We updated JxBrowser to version 7.35.2.
We upgraded HttpClient version 4.5.3.
ReadyAPI license Manager JAR file version is 1.3.7
ReadyAPI 3.50.0 includes newer versions of some libraries that version 3.49.0 used. If your scripts refer to classes from these libraries, you might need to update the scripts.
