Network Licenses

You can configure SOAtest and Virtualize to use a license served from Parasoft DTP or a standalone instance of Parasoft License Server. Contact your system administrator for information about which type of license you should use. 

...

1. Choose Parasoft > Preferences and click on the DTP category.
2. Enable the Enable option and specify the DTP URL, including the https:// protocol, in the Base URL field. Note that DTP does not support http:// connections. If DTP is deployed to a location other than the root of the host server, the URL should include a context path (a relative path from the host name; for example: https://server.company.com:8443/contextPath). This may be the case if your organization uses a reverse proxy. Refer to the DTP documentation on https://docs.parasoft.com for additional information about reverse proxy server configuration and context path configuration.
3. Enter your DTP login credentials in the User name and Password fields. 
4. Click Test Connection to verify that the settings are correct.
5. If you are going to use a license configuration associated with a specific DTP project, click Configure in the Project section and choose a project, then click OK.
6. Click Apply and click the Configure... link in the License section.
7. If you have multiple Parasoft products installed, open the tab for the Parasoft product you want to license (for example, Jtest, SOAtest, Virtualize).

8. Enable the Network option and click the Configure... link.

9. Enable the Use configured DTP settings option. If you are going to use a license configuration associated with a specific DTP project, enable the Use License Server settings from DTP project to use the license configuration associated with the project selected in step 5 instead. 
10. Click OK to close the dialog.
11. Choose the product edition from the Edition menu. Contact your Parasoft administrator for assistance selecting an edition or custom edition features.

12. You can enable the Borrow option and specify a length of time for which SOAtest and Virtualize will consume a license token. Licenses can be borrowed from 1 hour to 14 days. Refer to the DTP documentation for additional information about borrowing licenses.

13.  Apply to save your settings.
