This section describes how to license the desktop instance of SOAtest For information about licensing the web archive (WAR) deployment of the server, see Licensing Virtualize the Server.

...

You can configure SOAtest to wait for a license token if a requested token is not currently available by specifying the  license.wait.for.tokens.time option when using the command line interface. For additional information, see Configuring Localsettings,as well as Testing from the Command Line Interface - soatestcli.

Stabilizing the Machine ID

Changes in the network environment may affect the interface that is used to compute your machine ID, resulting in machine ID instability. You can use the PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES environment variable to specify a stable interface and prevent the machine ID from floating.

1. Set up the PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES environment variable according to your operating system.
2. Set the variable value to a stable ethernet network interface. Do not use virtual, temporary or loopback interfaces. 

   • Windows: Set the value to the MAC address of your network card, e.g.:
     

     Code Block
     language powershell
     SET PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES=00-10-D9-27-AC-85

     
     

   • Linux/macOS: Set the value to one of the network interfaces from the "inet" or "inet6" family, e.g.:
     

     Code Block
     language bash
     export PARASOFT_SUPPORT_NET_INTERFACES=eth1

Using a Local License

Local licenses do not request a license token from a a server on the network. Instead, they are locked to the specific machine. You will need to provide your machine ID to your Parasoft representative, who will send you a license password. The machine ID appears in the Parasoft license configuration screen.
