Licensing fallback mechanism (Windows)

Note: The licensing fallback is relevant only when working with concurrent licenses on Windows, and is not enabled by default.

When starting UFT Developer, the AutoPass License Server attempts to consume the exact license edition configured on the UFT Developer machine, such as the UFT One or UFT Developer license.

To modify this configuration on your Windows machine, see Define license usage behavior. Do this if you are concerned about the availability of the license edition configured on your UFT Developer machine.

UFT Developer consumes licenses in the following order, starting from the license edition configured on the UFT Developer machine:

Example:  

If the UFT Developer license is configured on your UFT Developer machine, but there is no available UFT Developer license on the License Server, UFT Developer will try to consume a UFT One license.

In turn, if no UFT One license is available, UFT Developer will try to consume a UFT Ultimate license.

If the UFT Runtime Engine license is configured on your UFT Developer machine but there is no available UFT Runtime Engine license, UFT Developer will try to consume a UFT Developer license.

In turn, if there is no available UFT Developer license, UFT Developer will try to consume a UFT One license, and so on.
