There are two type of license for Katalon (KSE & KRE), if you have only KSE license then you can not execute your scripts using Katalon Runtime Engine.

Can you show us the available license at Testops license management to help you

Katalon Studio and Katalon Runtime Engine are separated tools that use your user account information to authenticate through Katalon services to validate user licenses.

So, there is no need to install both KSE and KRE in the machine to execute Katalon’s scripts.

For example: You can create tests on your local PC using KSE and then use another PC (remote) that uses that project and run it on KRE.

Regarding to your error on KRE: “Cannot execute this test suite collection. There is no Katalon Runtime Engine license available.”

It seems your user has no KRE license associated. I recommend you to double-check your console command and see if your user contains the Katalon API key value.

Also, you can log in into Katalon TestOps platform (or ask your katalon admin) to see if your user has the KRE assigned or not.

Bests,
