FAQ’s
Yes. An Execution License or Runtime License allows you to execute tests or processes, on additional desktops, mobiles or web browsers.
Execution Licenses also allow you to run tests or processes on hardware where T-Plan is not installed, by running the scripts from e.g. the command line. Usage is determined by the concurrent license number in operation at any one time, supporting flexible operation across time-zones, shifts or teams.
T-Plan uses two types of license:
Development – design, develop and debug projects using the Robot Enterprise application.
Execution – execution only licenses can be pooled to allow multiple concurrent executions across different projects and System Under Test’s (SUT’s).
All licenses are centrally managed by the T-Plan License Server.
Licenses are concurrent and can be used against any platform to automate any environment. Windows, Mac, Desktop, Web, Mobile, iOS, Android – mix and match as you please.
No. You must purchase at least one Development license in order to design and develop your automation projects, prior to being able to execute them.
The Development license is not named to an individual, and not tied to a particular computer, i.e. the license is floating, not node locked.
For an example purchase of 5 Development licenses, this allows 5 users to use T-Plan at any given time, even if there are 100 computers that have T-Plan software installed.
Similarly a purchase of 5 Execution licenses, only allows 5 live connections to any System Under Test (SUT) at any one time.
Upon commencement of a trial, you will be emailed a license URL to enter on first launch of the T-Plan application.
The trial license offers provision for both the development and execution of test scripts through the T-Plan UI and/or CLI.
The trial licenses are fully functional and restricted only by time.
When the trial period expires, whilst you do not lose any work that you have done, you will be unable to run any aspect of T-Plan. If you purchase the product the product will resume and you can continue your work.
Essentially yes.
The only potential difference is when purchasing T-Plan, you’ll have the choice to use a hosted license (via a provided URL, in the same way as your trial) or to install and host your own internal License Server. The later is generally used for closed/offline networks.
During a valid support and maintenance contract you have full access to all product updates. Beta and minor point releases, through to major feature releases are all included.
If you have any problems or questions, or simply want some advice, you can communicate with our support team through phone, email, or web chat on any of the website pages.
T-Plan is provided as a paid for licensed product.
For further details of features included in the different releases please see the Versions Comparison table.
Should you have any further questions regarding pricing, or the license, please contact our Sales department through the T-Plan Contacts page.
