hi everyone,
I have a question related to CI/CD integration on Katalon Studio.

is it possible to integrate Katalon with Github Actions using 1-month Free Trial License?

Thanks in advance

Anything related to CICD need KRE as Katalon Studio is only to create and automate tests.

As long as you have the enterprise license for Katalon Studio and Katalon Runtime Engine (KRE) , you can integrate your tests with CICD

Please be aware after the trial ends , you wont be able to use KRE for CICD

hey @Monty_Bagati thank you for your answer.

I just created new account on Katalon, there’s 1-month free trial on the account.
but when I try to use the account for the Github Actions integration, I got this error:

Start activating online...

Failed to activate with Katalon Runtime Engine license.  Your trial has expired. Please subscribe to continue using Katalon Runtime Engine. {"timestamp":"2024-11-07T03:14:48.223+0000","status":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Your trial has expired.

Cannot execute this test suite collection. There is no Katalon Runtime Engine license available.

do you know why? since the API KEY that I use is from new created account.
thanks in advance

Because it says that you dont have KRE license. Did you download KRE? and your trial is expired as per the error.

I have no idea how the licenses are controlled by Katalon. You should ask Katalon.

I would pass this issue to Katalon people → @albert.vu @Elly_Tran

The thing is as per the error it shows 0 license . Could you please go to the license management and actually confirm you have KRE license?

noted @kazurayam , thanks

Thanks @kazurayam for tagging us.

this doc helps explain how licenses work

Ideally, within 1-month trial you can use all featured offered by Katalon as paid clients, your subscription will be free after that 1 month trial if you do not proceed with any purchase.

Please let me know if you need further help.

@depapp belives he has a valid 1-month Free Trial License for Katalon Runtime Engine at the moment. But when he tried to use the license, it seems that Katalon regards he has no valid license. Why?

I have a doubt that the 1-month Free Trial Licese may apply only to Katalon Studio GUI product, not to Katalon Runtime Engine CLI product. In other words, I guess, Katalon does NOT offer 1-month Free trial License to Katalon Runtime Engine.

Forgive me, I do not know much about the Katalon licenses.

I think you are correct @kazurayam about this:

I have a doubt that the 1-month Free Trial Licese may apply only to Katalon Studio GUI product, not to Katalon Runtime Engine CLI product. In other words, I guess, Katalon does NOT offer 1-month Free trial License to Katalon Runtime Engine.

so, this is not valid statement, right? @vu.tran
