# Install a license using the License wizard (Windows)

The Functional Testing License wizard enables you install, check out, or switch between license types on Windows machines.

Note: Installing licenses requires administrator permissions.

In this topic:

## Install a Seat license

1. Open the Functional Testing License Wizard (available from the Windows Start menu).

2. In the License Wizard start screen, select Seat license.

3. In the Seat License installation screen, do one of the following:

   Tip: You must have a license key before you do this step. If you don't yet have a license key, click How can I get a license key file and following the on-screen instructions.

   - Click Load License Key File and select the license key .dat file that you received from your OpenText representative.

   - Paste the license key into the edit field.
4. Verify that the license key is valid, and click Install.
5. When the installation of the license is complete, restart the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers runtime engine to apply the new license.

Note:

- Limited seat licenses. If you install a time-limited seat license, do not modify the date on your computer. Doing so will block your active seat license and prevent future OpenText Functional Testing for Developers seat license installations on that computer.

  For more information, contact your OpenText license supplier.

- MAC address or host name changes. If you modify the MAC address or host name of the computer after installing a seat license, you must regenerate and install your seat licenses again.

## Install a Concurrent license

1. Prerequisite: Make sure you are connected to the network and can access the License Server.

2. Open the Functional Testing License Wizard (available from the Windows Start menu).

3. In the License Wizard start screen, select Concurrent license.

4. In the Concurrent License Installation screen, enter the License Server address in the following format:

   <license server address>:<port>

   Note:

   - The address format must be identical to the one used in the Main tab of the License Server Configuration pane. For details, see the AutoPass License Server online documentation.

   - The Concurrent License Installation screen varies between OpenText Functional Testing for Developers versions. Skip the Add Redundant Server settings option if it is displayed. AutoPass no longer supports server redundancy.

   To use a proxy server for this connection, click Proxy Settings and enter the proxy connection details.

   You can use the System proxy or an HTTP proxy, and specify credentials for proxy authentication, if needed.

5. Provide tenant information if you enter an address of a multi-tenant license server.

   Click Provide tenant info for a multi-tenant license server, and enter the tenant ID and authentication token.

   For information on how to assign an authentication token to a tenant in AutoPass License Server, see AutoPass License Server online documentation.

6. Click Connect to connect to the License Server.

7. From the product license drop-down list, select the license you purchased and click Install.

8. If the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers runtime engine was running during the installation of the license, restart the runtime engine to apply the new license.
