It seems you’re trying to run offline. You will need to generate an offline license to operate KRE in that mode: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/c/ce5ed4a9cc6d9442528b20148001908256353a31.png) If you continue to have issues, please post your command line. ---

Hi @Vivek You should download the Katalon Studio’s latest version (v7.2.0) and try again. And make sure you have a license for Katalon Runtime Engine. Thanks ---

Hi @Vivek If you are looking for offline activation, then the feature is available only for paid license. To activate online, first go to **C:\Users\10303050.katalon\license** and delete the license file. You can see this path in the picture that you posted. Then please make sure that you are using a business email for Katalon account to be eligible for trial of Runtime Engine. In TestOps, visit your personal page. On the left panel you should see **Licenses** section. If you are eligible for trial, you should be able to see the expiration date. ![18%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/4/4db6d2e1384a7332d64d70d5067bade1c8d74a48.png) Finally, you need to include an API key in your command line. In the above image, you should also be able to see the **API Key** button on the left panel. Navigate there to see the API key, create one if none exists. Refer to this documentation: [https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/activate-RE.html#with-paid-license](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/activate-RE.html#with-paid-license) Regards !
