My company has procured various Katalon studio license and one katalon runetime devops license.
Our devellopers have no issue with their own license.
But in our effort to setup nightly tests runs via Azure DevOps, we can’t seem to be able to setup the licence usage appropriately.
I have given our “generic user” an api key. I am then using this api key when calling katalon via the command line in Azure DevOps.
Here is an exerpt from the logs Command-line arguments: -projectPath=D:\vso\b3_work\519\s\katalon_projects\CDP.DAX_365\CDP.DAX_365.prj -testSuitePath=Test Suites/General Ledger/Chart of accounts/export_EDC_MainAccount -executionProfile=Nightly -runMode=console -statusDelay=5 -retry=0 -browserType=Chrome (headless) -apiKey=***** --config -webui.autoUpdateDrivers=true*
And here is the part where Katalon is trying to activate it’s licence :
Can you guide me towards properly setting up the runtime engine dev ops license please
Does your API key belong to a TestOps account which belongs to the organization that purchased the DevOps license ?
From your TestOps account that generated the api key, please go to Organization > Organization Settings > Licenses > Katalon Runtime Engine DevOps and provide the screenshot.
A Katalon account can also be used to login TestOps. Please tell that user to go to TestOps and visit the page where you took the screenshot, and then click on Katalon Runtime Engine DevOps, the first thing we should check is that there’s at least an available license there.
It means that the organization doesn’t have a DevOps license. I recommend you check which organization did you purchase the DevOps for, then generate an API key from a user within that Organization.
I’ve tried with an admin user API Key. I’ve had the same result. Where Azure DevOps couldn’t acquire a license.
I’ve then tried with the owner API Key. And finally, the license check seems to work.
So even though i finally passed the license hurdle, When I go into testOps to verify if the KRE DevOps license is in use. I still see it as available. My worry is that I’m still not quite setted up right.
In that case, it is highly likely that your Owner account is still eligible for a trial of KRE, which makes activation passed.
The Katalon plugin on Azure DevOps is designed to work with KR DevOps license, if you use your own set up, then the activation process of a regular RE is looking for a node locked license. To work with KR DevOps license, you would need to use the katalon plugin on Azure DevOps, or use our official Docker image.
To inquire about information about security information in case your departments require, it’s best to use our Zendesk support channel. It’s a more dedicated channel for KSE/RE users. I may not have sufficient time or knowlewdge to answer all of your questions here.
i am also facing the same issue and i have submitted a ticket and its been 4 days and i didnt get the resolution (i got only first response) . please provide us an solution on how to make use to the devops license which we bought.
You’re recommended to read this announcement regarding the consolidation of both Katalon Runtime Engine DevOps and Floating licenses into one licensing offering, Floating .
