User privileges requirements

You must have a user ID that meets the following requirements before you can install HCL OneTest Embedded.

  • Your user ID must not contain double-byte characters.
  • You must install Installation Manager as an administrator on Windows if the version of your operating system requires user privileges to install or update product offerings, or install license keys for your products.
  • If you install Installation Manager as an administrator on Windows, all products installed from Installation Manager must be run with the administrator privilege. In this case, you must run HCL OneTest Embedded as an administrator.
  • If you install Installation Manager as a non-administrator on Windows, HCL OneTest Embedded can be installed with the same User account as the one used to install Installation Manager.
  • You can enable users who are not the administrator so that they can work with HCL OneTest Embedded on some versions of Windows. If you are in such a case:
    • Do not install HCL OneTest Embedded into a package group (installation location) in the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files\) and do not choose a shared resources directory in the Program Files directory.
    • If you are extending an existing Eclipse installation, then do not install Eclipse in the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files\).
  • On Linux, you must be able to log in as root (with sudo) to install and run HCL OneTest Embedded.
  • On Ubuntu, you must ensure that the environment variables that are set while installing the products are retained when you open HCL OneTest Embedded and the application-under-test.
  • HCL License Server must be installed on Windows at the same time or prior to HCL OneTest Embedded so that the license information entered during HCL OneTest Embedded installation is valid. If you need to install HCL License Server on Windows with a User account, right-click the launchpad.exe file, and click Run as Administrator or install the HCL License Server separately with an Administrator account.
