VirtServer Licenses
Important Notice for VirtServer Customers
Starting from ReadyAPI 3.62.0, VirtServer 3.29.0, and TestEngine 1.34.0, SmartBear Product Family 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 more information and timelines, refer to the File-based License End-of-Support Policy page.
To use VirtServer, you need a trial or commercial license. Contact your SmartBear representative to obtain a license.
From version 3.29.0 onwards, VirtServer supports only SmartBear ID-based licenses. These licenses don't require license keys or files. To run the product, you need to specify your SmartBear account.
File-based licenses (Deprecated): These licenses involve using a SmartBear license file. You apply that file on your computer to activate the license, or consume the license from the license server running in your network, which is licensed with this file.
For details about deprecation timelines, support status, and required actions, see the Important Notice for VirtServer Customers.
