With this license, you can open a project, view, edit, and run resources on the computer on which you have installed Test Integrations and APIs. When you close the application, this seat is released within 15 minutes.

Note: If the license is not used for 15 minutes, the license is returned to the License server for others to consume it. If the product loses connectivity to the HCL® License & Delivery portal, you can use the product for two hours only if the server ID that you entered last time is correct.

You must add the License Server as an environment variable on the computer on which you want to run the Test Integrations and APIs assets. You might want to run the assets on any of the following computers:

On which you have installed Test Integrations and APIs.
