  - Setting up licenses for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization
    Before you can use HCL OneTest™ Virtualization, you must set up and apply the licenses.
- Configuring HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  After you install HCL OneTest™ API Agent, you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
- Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Microsoft™ Windows™
  On computers running Microsoft™ Windows™, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.
- Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Unix-like systems
  On Unix-like systems, you can start HCL OneTest™ API Agent by running the Agent executable in the root of the HCL OneTest API Agent installation directory (for example, /opt/HCL/HCLProducts/Agent/).
- HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you install and run the HCL OneTest™ API Agent.
- HTTP/TCP proxy setup
  The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
- Setting up the JDBC proxy
  After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
- Administering HCL Quality Server
  HCL Quality Server is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest Virtualization.

Licenses for HCL OneTest™ Virtualization

You can find information about the licenses that you can purchase to use HCL OneTest™ Virtualization.

Processor value unit (PVU) licensing

In this licensing mode, you receive printed versions of the licenses. No configuration is necessary.

Agent mode (simultaneous session) licensing

From Version 8.5.0.2 onwards, HCL OneTest™ Virtualization provide support for Agent mode licensing, which is also known as simultaneous session licensing. In this type of licensing, you can use token licenses. This licensing requires that a Rational® License Server be installed in the environment and configured with valid licenses in order for HCL OneTest™ API Agent to operate. Additionally, the Agent must be configured with the details of the license server so that the Agent is able to communicate with the license server at runtime.

Simultaneous session licensing requires manual configuration.

HCL OneTest™ Virtualization Concurrent Virtual Services licensing

HCL OneTest™ Virtualization V9.2.1 or later, supports Concurrent Virtual Services licensing. With this form of licensing, each concurrent virtual service consumes a single license.

When running stubs with Docker, a single HCL OneTest™ Virtualization Concurrent Virtual Service license is consumed for each stub that is running in a container. Each stub running under a concurrent virtual service license is limited to 10 transactions per second.

This license requires that a Rational License Server be installed in the environment and configured with valid concurrent virtual services licenses in order for stubs to run in containers.

If running any resource other than a stub in Docker, a single HCL OneTest™ Studio or HCL OneTest™ API license is acquired for the duration of the run and returned once the run terminates.
