Yes, offline registration is the only option for me (blocked many ports by company). Today I’ve made another test. Created new user on remote machine. Then this user tried to run katalon.exe --> of course prompt to register the product.
I’ve checked his application.properties file (in “c:\users\thisnewuser\.katalon”). Properties file was like this -->
#C:\KatalonStudio
#Mon Jul 10 08:26:00 CEST 2017
katalon.versionNumber=4.6.0
katalon.buildNumber=2
When I manually add entries to this file -->
proxy.serverType=
proxy.username=
proxy.option=No Proxy
proxy.serverAddress=
activated=xxx_xxxxxxxxxx
proxy.serverPort=-1
email=XXXXXXXX
proxy.password=
…entries are from my file (xxx is password you’ve sent me to activate offline), then everything works fine for this new user (no need to register the product). I know it’s workaround, but it works.
For me it’s not a problem to do so (my team is only 10 people), but I can’t imagine to do that for 100 people for example:)
