HI? I have 2-KRE license. and that is node-locked.
These Days all my auto-test process is starting to use aws ec2… and katalon get to executed by powershell script with this command “aws ssm send-command”
But as soon as the test starts, it fails as shown below.

What is the problem? should I use offline license? or changing license type? For example, Floating licenses?
Katalon test ec2 instance is window server 2016

Hi @dev1

Have you used these API keys for another machine yet?

[dev1]

Of course, I’v been used that Key for the server which is located in my office. And it is working now. After building the katalon test environment in ec2, it will no longer run on that server.

Note that if you connect a window instance with RDP and execute the katalon command directly, it runs well.

But why would it fail when I run a command from the power shell script in the s3 bucket via session manager?

The command in power shell is in the following. ( that is .bat file)

katalonc -runMode=console -noSplash -projectPath=“%PROJECTDIR%/TestAutomation-Web/TestAutomation-Web.prj” -retry=0 -testSuitePath=“Test Suites/CI/TS_Regression_Profile_Main” -executionProfile=“setting_main” -browserType=“Chrome” -reportFolder=%REPORTDIR% -reportFileName=“report” -apiKey=%APIKEY% -g_URL=%DS_URL%

What is an off line license? When to use it? Should I switch to an off-line license? When the ec2 instance is terminated and re-created, this license seems to stop working…

I found this guide.

I use node-locked RE license. and yearly license.

We are going to move our test environment to the aws ec2 environment. Is it possible to change the node-locked license to a DevOps license?
